Les Chefs d'oeuvre du Musée du Louvre
A c. 1900 Paris department-store publication of masterpieces from the Louvre, issued by the Grands Magasins du Louvre as a sampler of old master paintings. Its pictures are halftone reproductions of paintings, mostly sacred and mythological scenes with figures in drapery, angels and cherubs, and some rotated on the page; a designer might borrow their dense, dark-ground compositions and tonal figure groupings.
