A collection of pictures forming the celebrated gallery of His Imperial Highness the Duke of Leuchtenberg, at Munich

Galerie Leuchtenberg, Muxel. J. N. (Johann Nepomuk), 1790-1870, Passavant, Johann David, 1787-1861 · 1852 · Frankfort on the Maine : J. Baer ; London : G. Willis · 28 pictures

A lithographed plate book of paintings from the Leuchtenberg gallery in Munich, produced in 1852 by Frankfurt and London publishers with text by Passavant and lithography after Muxel, for connoisseurs and collectors of European painting. The plates are rendered as tonal pencil-like line drawings, each shown rotated on the page, with figures in dense groups, dramatic gestures and heavy drapery that suggest studies for staging compositions, tableaux, or classical and historical poses.
