La sculpture et les chefs-d'œuvre de l'orfèvrerie belges
A late nineteenth-century Belgian survey of sculpture and goldsmith work, published in Brussels in 1895 by F. Hayez and written by Edmond Marchal for art students and collectors. The plates are photographs of carved chimneypieces, a panelled altarpiece, a Gothic-arched funerary monument and a tall tomb with statues, shown in Gothic and Renaissance church and palace settings. A designer could take from them the dense, layered relief carving, the tiered architectural canopies and the way figures sit inside arched niches.
