La vie de St. Bruno : fondateur de l'ordre des Chartreux, peinte au Cloistre de la Chartreuse de Paris
A 1755 Paris print series by François Chauveau, engraved after his paintings for the cloister of the Chartreuse de Paris, recounting the life of Saint Bruno, founder of the Carthusian order. The plates are formal, architectural history scenes with Latin and French captions below, showing robed monks and clerics in arched colonnaded halls. A designer might take from them the stage-like framing of arches and columns, dramatic draped curtains, and crowded gestural groupings of figures.
