Histoire de l'art par les monumens, depuis sa décadence au IVe siècle jusqu'à son renouvellement au XVIe;
This is a 1823 Paris art history by Seroux d'Agincourt, published by Treuttel et Würtz for scholars and collectors, tracing painting, sculpture and architecture from late antiquity to the sixteenth century through reproduced monuments. The plates are fine pen-and-ink line drawings of mosaics, manuscript-style miniatures, carved reliefs and architectural ornament, often set in framed panels with arched tops, giving designers a clear source for medieval ornamental borders, halo motifs and figure groupings rendered in simple outline.
