Galerie du Musée Napoléon

Musée Napoléon · 1804 · Paris : Chez Filhol : de l'Impr. de Gillé fils · 38 pictures

Galerie du Musée Napoléon is a Paris print album of 1804 issued by Filhol and printed by Gillé fils, reproducing paintings from the Musée Napoléon collection for a French art-loving public. Its plates are engravings of old master scenes, most with a title and painter's name printed in the margins; the figures are rendered in dense crosshatching and strong tonal contrast, showing how grouped figures, draped fabric and architectural settings were arranged for narrative clarity, a useful reference for composing crowded historical scenes.
