Gazette des beaux-arts
Gazette des beaux-arts was a French art periodical begun in Paris in 1859, written for collectors, curators and connoisseurs who followed museum holdings, sales and archaeological finds. Its plates are pen-and-line reproductions of sculpture, carved reliefs, ornamental pilasters and inscribed panels, giving designers outline-drawn foliate borders, roundel compositions with Madonna and child, haloed figures and Latin lettering set in architectural frames.
