The article analyses the origin of the «Annales du Musée et de l’école moderne des beaux-arts» by Charles-Paul Landon. Printed from 1801, this periodical publication was created with the aim of disclosing art through simplified pictures, line-engraving and essential language, thus promoting in a simple and accessible way both the works of art located in the developing space of Louvre both the ones showed during the short time span of Salons. The study of the «Annales» – in relation to other contemporary publications – allows the reconstruction of the whole period from a critical and theoretical perspective, underlining the emerging topics of the debate of those years and revealing the very origin of this particular type of publishing linked to the outreach of art and closely connected to the spread of museums.

Abstract
The article analyses the origin of the «Annales du Musée et de l’école moderne des beaux-arts» by Charles-Paul Landon. Printed from 1801, this periodical publication was created with the aim of disclosing art through simplified pictures, line-engraving and essential language, thus promoting in a simple and accessible way both the works of art located in the developing space of Louvre both the ones showed during the short time span of Salons. The study of the «Annales» – in relation to other contemporary publications – allows the reconstruction of the whole period from a critical and theoretical perspective, underlining the emerging topics of the debate of those years and revealing the very origin of this particular type of publishing linked to the outreach of art and closely connected to the spread of museums.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
