Das Museum : eine Anleitung zum Genuss der Werke bildender Kunst

Spemann, Wilhelm, 1844-1910, Graul, Richard, 1862-1944, Stettiner, Richard, 1865-1927 · 1896 · Berlin : W. Spemann · 18 pictures

Das Museum, an German art appreciation guide published in Berlin by W. Spemann in 1896 and edited by Wilhelm Spemann, Richard Graul and Richard Stettiner, intended for general museum visitors learning to enjoy painting and sculpture. The plates reproduce old master paintings in halftone, including a Hogarth conversation piece, a Rembrandt-style head, and a Raphael-school scene, with a loose wash drawing of a horse and rider; a designer might take from them the compositional staging of figures in interiors and the tonal portraiture.
