Oude en nieuwe kunst
Oude en nieuwe kunst is a Dutch-language art history survey by Max Rooses, published in Ghent by the Vuylsteke bookshop in 1896, covering Belgian painting and its older and newer traditions. The four plates are halftone reproductions of paintings and one wood-engraved genre scene, all printed rotated on the page. Designers may take from them the dense crowded compositions, dark tonal range and pale highlights of Flemish-style group scenes, though the scans are sideways and low in contrast.
