Storia della pittura del secolo XIX
This is a 1915 Milan survey of nineteenth-century painting by Léonce Bénédite and Gino Fogolari, published by Società editrice libraria for a general readership of art students and collectors. The plates reproduce academic and realist canvases in halftone, showing group genre scenes, a dark-gowned standing woman, a crowd gathered around a figure, and an interior with a seated figure among columns. A designer could take from them the tonal range of dark costume against pale grounds and the crowded, theatrical staging of figures.
