L'oeuvre de P. P. Rubens; histoire et description de ses tableaux et dessins
A catalogue raisonné of Peter Paul Rubens's paintings and drawings, written by Max Rooses and published in Antwerp in 1886 for art historians and collectors. Its plates are engraved reproductions of Rubens's religious compositions, each with a French caption and plate number, showing saints, martyrdoms and the Virgin's coronation in dramatic swirling clouds, strong diagonals and dense figure groups a designer could study for composition and chiaroscuro.
