Les conquêtes artistiques de la révolution et de l'empire; reprises et abandons des Alliés en 1815, leurs conséquences sur les Musées d'Europe

Saunier, Charles, b. 1865 · 1902 · Paris, H. Laurens · 14 pictures

Charles Saunier's 1902 study for Paris publisher H. Laurens, tracing art seized during the Revolution and Empire and the Allies' 1815 restitutions, written for museum historians and collectors. Plates reproduce line engravings and tonal prints of gallery interiors: vaulted Louvre halls hung floor to ceiling, crowds of small figures among plinths, and a printmaker's studio piled with antique fragments, obelisks and casts.
