La galerie du régent, Philippe, duc d'Orléans
La galerie du régent is a 1913 Paris photogravure catalogue by Casimir Stryienski, published by Goupil & Cie, reproducing paintings from the private collection of Philippe, duc d'Orléans, for art connoisseurs and collectors. The pictures are tonal reproductions of old master paintings, mostly portraits, religious and mythological scenes set in landscapes, rendered in soft brown monochrome with full-page plate margins. A designer might take their dramatic chiaroscuro, classical figure groupings and pastoral backdrops as reference for period compositions.
