Catalogo
This is an 1895 exhibition catalogue published in Venice by the Biennale di Venezia, listing modern paintings shown at its art exhibition for a visiting public of collectors, critics and art lovers. The plates are black-and-white halftone reproductions, each captioned with an artist's name and a painting title, such as Carl Hartmann's Les Meilleurs and Francesco Paolo Michetti's Studio. Several scenes show women and children in interiors and outdoor settings, with soft, loose brushwork a designer could draw on for tonal study of late nineteenth-century Italian painting.
