Description

This illustrated book, shown in the photo, is number 49 in the "Regards sur la Peinture" collection, dedicated to the artist Le Lorrain. The cover features a reproduction of a maritime painting, typical of Claude Gellée, known as Le Lorrain, with a port scene bustling with figures and ships, in a luminous and detailed composition.

The title "REGARDS SUR LA PEINTURE" appears in large green letters on a white background, accompanied by the number 49 in the upper right. Below, the inscription "LE LORRAIN" is printed in white over the painted scene, and the mention "EDITIONS FABBRI" is at the bottom, on a blue band.

The cover has a glossy finish and the image reveals contrasting colors, from the deep green of the water to the ochre of the architecture and the blue of the sky, enhancing the visual effect sought for this type of art book. The book is displayed upright in front of an antique bookshelf, highlighting its character as an art history book and an illustrated edition.

This is a softcover publication, typical of art magazines or monographs published in the 1990s, with no major visible wear on the front: no tears, marked creases, or apparent stains. The upper corners appear clean, and the binding is not visible in the provided image.

The editorial design emphasizes clarity and readability, with modern typography, suitable for an audience interested in the history of painting and the great European masters. This issue focuses on Le Lorrain, a great painter of classical 17th-century landscape.
