Gazette des beaux-arts
A French art periodical, the Gazette des beaux-arts, issued in Paris from 1859 for collectors, critics and connoisseurs. Wood-engraved plates and in-text cuts record Renaissance metalwork vases, carved capitals, heraldic engraved blades and ornament panels alongside tonal reproductions of paintings, giving designers scrollwork borders, grotesque figure friezes and shaded object studies with cast shadows.
