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 · 17 pictures

Das Museum is a German art appreciation book edited by Wilhelm Spemann, Richard Graul and Richard Stettiner, published in Berlin by W. Spemann in 1896 as a guide for general readers to enjoy paintings and drawings in museums. Its plates are black-and-white reproductions of old master works: a Murillo genre scene, a Veronese feast with a dog and musicians, a Raphael-school panel with figure studies, and a Madonna and Child drawing. For designers, the pictures offer dense group compositions and soft tonal chiaroscuro worth studying for layout and figure arrangement.
