Galerie du Musée Napoléon
Galerie du Musée Napoléon is a Paris print album of 1804 issued by Chez Filhol, reproducing paintings from the Musée Napoléon collection as engravings for a French audience of collectors and art lovers. The plates are engraved reproductions of old master and contemporary French paintings, many shown rotated on the page, with captions naming each work. A designer can take compositional ideas from them: groups of figures set in leafy landscape, dense foliage framing a scene, and clear tonal contrast between light and shadow.
