representational art , or simply images Explanation: "meubles" and "costumes" are (generically) decorative arts, and there is another classification dealing with images (particularly religious ones, based on literature, when dealing with certain periods from which "imagerie" survives). 18th-century protraiture no longer falls into this genre, as it is considered realistic or commemorative.

images Explanation: Another idea. If you are looking for a broader term than "prints", "images" is currently used in the art world to refer to visual art that is a picture but that may be something other than a painting. Artwork is perhaps a little broad for my taste for here. Reference: Artist in family. HTH :) |
