Gazette des beaux-arts
Gazette des beaux-arts, a French art periodical begun in 1859 in Paris for collectors, critics, and connoisseurs, illustrated with wood engravings and etchings after paintings, sculpture, and architecture. Plates run from crowded figure scenes and landscape etchings to measured drawings of carved capitals and ornamental friezes with sphinxes, scrolls, and urns, useful as line-art sources for borders, headpieces, and architectural detail.
