La mythologie dans l'art ancien et moderne
La mythologie dans l'art ancien et moderne is an 1880 Paris survey by René Ménard and Eugène Véron, published by C. Delagrave, a general introduction to classical myth as shown in art. The pictures are fine line engravings after ancient gems, reliefs and later paintings, showing a helmeted youth with a winged Victory, a woman with a dog beside a pillar, a procession of draped women, and a rescue scene. A designer might take from them the clean contour line and the poised, idealised figure poses of classical sculpture.
