RING (Grete) Paris, Phaidon, mid-20th century. A seminal study of 15th-century French painting by Grete Ring (1887–1952), a German art historian renowned for her work on the French and Flemish Primitives.

Richly illustrated with black-and-white reproductions, the volume presents the leading masters and workshops of the century, notably the Avignon School, the Master of King René, Enguerrand Quarton, and the great illuminators of the period. It remains a valued reference work for art historians and lovers of medieval painting. Original publisher’s pink cloth binding, title in gold lettering on the front cover.
