Les Audran

Duplessis, Georges, 1834-1899 · 1892 · Paris : Librairie de l'Art · 37 pictures

Les Audran is an 1892 art-historical monograph by Georges Duplessis, published in Paris by Librairie de l'Art, on the Audran family of French painters and engravers. The plates reproduce engravings after works by members of this dynasty, with allegorical ceilings, classical scenes and ornamental cartouches in an eighteenth-century French manner. A designer could take from them the strong oval framing, dense line-engraved shading and rococo scrollwork of French decorative prints.
