Ville de Gand, Musée des beaux-arts : catalogue : précédé d'un plan des salles & d'une notice historique
A 1905 museum catalogue from the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, Belgium, compiled by Louis Maeterlinck and printed in French for visitors and scholars. Its plates are black-and-white photographic reproductions of old master paintings, showing religious scenes with dramatic chiaroscuro, crowded figures, and clouds with angels. A designer might take from them the dark grounds, strong light falling on central figures, and the arched panel compositions.
