Das Museum : eine Anleitung zum Genuss der Werke bildender Kunst

Spemann, Wilhelm, 1844-1910, Graul, Richard, 1862-1944, Stettiner, Richard, 1865-1927 · 1896 · Berlin : W. Spemann · 20 pictures

Das Museum is a German art appreciation guide compiled by Wilhelm Spemann, Richard Graul and Richard Stettiner and published in Berlin by W. Spemann in 1896, aimed at visitors learning to look at fine art. Its plates reproduce sculpture, a fresco, a print and a painting, each with a caption and a museum or period label, and a designer can take from them the framing of isolated figures against plain grounds and the use of dramatic light and shadow.
