Catalogo
This 1895 exhibition catalogue from the Venice Biennale, published in Venezia by the Biennale's visual arts section, reproduces paintings by European modern artists as halftone plates with page numbers and captions. The pictures show mythological and allegorical scenes such as a bacchanal of reclining figures, a painted group of robed figures before a church, and a seaside rock with a woman in the foreground, all rendered in dark, heavy tonal contrasts that a designer could study for figure grouping and chiaroscuro.
