Figurines Franciscaines. Vingt et une planches hors texte, couverture de Maurice Denis

Goyau, Georges, 1869-1939 · 1921 · Paris, Henri Laurens · 22 pictures

A French art-historical study of Franciscan subjects in painting and sculpture, written by Georges Goyau and issued in Paris by Henri Laurens in 1921 with a cover by Maurice Denis, aimed at readers of religious art history. The twenty-one plates mix halftone reproductions of altarpieces and carved reliefs with high-contrast engraved portraits of tonsured friars, offering designers hooded figures, raised blessing hands, crowd scenes of upturned faces, and dense black-and-white line texture.
