La Belgique
La Belgique, a richly illustrated Paris survey of Belgian art and culture from 1895, written by Georges Lafenestre and Eugène Richtenberger for a French readership. Its two reproductions are photogravure-style plates of old master paintings: a crowded Rubens Adoration of the Magi with dense figures and gold-brown tonal depth, and a Dutch genre interior with a seated woman, a man at a doorway, and a small dog, showing how crowded compositions and warm shadows read at small scale.
