A French printed selection of engraved reproductions of paintings from the Lebrun collection, assembled by Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Le Brun during his 1807 and 1808 travels in Spain and Italy and published in Paris in 1810 by Didot jeune for collectors and connoisseurs. The plates are plain black-and-white outline engravings, each captioned with an Italian painter's name, and show mythological and religious scenes with figures in drapery, nudes, and crowded groups; a designer might take their clean contour lines and classical poses as reference for figure composition.
