Galerie du Musée Napoléon
Galerie du Musée Napoléon is a Paris print album of engraved reproductions of paintings from the Musée Napoléon, published by Filhol in 1804 for collectors and art students. Its plates are black-and-white engravings, many sideways on the page, showing hunting parties, a card-playing or concert scene, and a sickbed interior with draped figures; a designer might take their crowded groupings, dramatic lighting and layered tonal shading as models for composition.
