1567 MUSÉE FRANCAIS ET MUSÉE ROYALE Recueil des plus beaux Tableaux, Statues, et Bas-Reliefs qui existaient au louvre avant 1813, avec l'Explication des sujets, et des discours historiques sur la peinture, la sculpture, et la gravure. Par Duchesne Ainé.

A Paris: A. et W. Galignani. [n. d.]

6 vols., folio, half bound. One of the most magnificent works that ever issued from the Parisian press, representing the matchless collection which formerly graced the Louvre, combining, as it did, nearly all the excellence of which the various countries on the continent could boast in painting and sculpture, and is, unquestionably, the grandest production of modern times. It exhibits a series of engravings (by the most distinguished artists) of such a collection of paintings as can never again be united. It is almost unnecessary to observe that this work is not a mere collection of prints, as it contains many luminous and masterly dissertations upon the state of the arts in different ages, observations upon the style, excellence, and defects of the various schools of painting, a minute description of every painting, etc., drawn with extreme care and correctness. The present is an early copy, much superior to some of a later issue.
