Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Giotto HE present little volume can lay no claim to be other than a general review of Giotto's life and works, the limits of its pages having rendered impossible any more detailed treatment of the subject. To many, it will doubtless appear of too critical a nature to afford either pleasure or amusement others, again, will find it lacking in the usual fund of pleasing anecdote which forms so attractive an element in much of the literature that has gathered about Giotto's name. To these admirers of the master, I must counsel a return to the pages of Vasari and his commentators. To those few, however, who look for something more than a mere literary pleasure in the study of an artist's life and work, I can but hope that this little book may prove of some slight use in awakening a deeper interest in the creations of one of the first and greatest of Italian painters. I must acknowledge my deep indebtedness to Mr. Bernhard Berenson for much invaluable assistance during. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Giotto and Some of His Followers, Vol. 1 The incentive came to me in the following way. One day in December, 1915, I lunched with two of the professors of the Fine Arts Department at the Harvard Club in Boston. I was much im pressed by the splendid and exhaustive teaching carried on by the professors of the Department, whereas at home I was so unfortunate as to be single-handed. The only thing I could say on my own be half was that I had been lecturing on Giotto and his followers. But this was enough. My friends' enthusiasm and appreciation for any efforts in the field of the History of Art seemed at once to attach a peculiar importance to those tedious lectures; and when they heard that I had some of my notes with me, they expressed a desire that I should give some of the same lectures at Harvard. The proposal was a surprise to me, but there was something tempting about it for it afforded me an opportunity for a longer stay at the leading university in America, where the study of the History of Art had become particularly well founded. I did not perhaps at first realize my own incapacity as deeply as I ought to have. At any rate, pre liminaries were soon discussed more in detail and the very serious difficulty involved in my insufficient command of the English lan guage was disposed of when my friends promised they would find me some secretary or collaborator who would be able to answer for the linguistic side of the endeavor. It may be said at once that this promise was carried out in the most splendid way when they secured Mr. Frederic Schenck, at that time Instructor in the English De partment at Harvard, to assist me in the writing of my lectures in English.

Now, therefore, let the reader, - forming for himself as vivid and real a con ception as he is able, either of a group of Venetian palaces in the fourteenth century, or, if he likes better, of one of'the more fantastic but-even richer street scenes of Rouen, Ant werp, Cologne, or Nuremberg, and keeping this gorgeous image before him, - go out into any thoroughfare; representa tive, in a general and characteristic way, of' the feeling for domestic architecture in modern times let him, for instance, if in London, walk once up and down Harley Street, or Baker Street, or Gower Street and then, looking upon this picture and on this, set himself to consider (for this is to be the sub ject of our following and final inquiry) what have been the causes which have' induced'so vast a change in' the European mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature in Italian Art: A Study of Landscape Backgrounds, From Giotto to Tintoretto The treatment of Nature by the Medieval and Renaissance painters of Italy has for the most part been considered as merely accessory to their figure-subjects;its distinctive merits have thus been insufficiently appreciated. The object of the present book is to show that there existed from the thirteenth century an attempt to study Nature for her own sake, tracing the development of landscape from the summary conventions of Giotto and his followers to its magnificent culmination in the Venetian School. The pictures discussed are typical examples of the various masters, attention being throughout concentrated on their landscape setting; Nature is taken to include flowers and beasts. Chronology is observed wherever possible, although a certain amount of overlapping is inevitable in passing from one School to another. The Venetians have been reserved for the later chapters, and are there treated consecutively. I have endeavoured to acknowledge ideas and attributions taken from critics of Italian painting, foremost among whom one must mention Mr. Berenson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetry of Architecture: Poems Giotto and His Works in Padua The Science of Architecture, followed out to its full extent, is one of the noblest of those which have reference only to the creations of human minds. It is not merely a science of the rule and compass, it does not consist only in the observation of just rule, or of fair proportion: it is, or ought to be, a science of feeling more than of rule, a ministry to the mind, more than to the eye. If we consider how much less the beauty and majesty of a building depend upon its pleasing certain prejudices of the eye, than upon its rousing certain trains of meditation in the mind, it will show in a moment how many intricate questions of feeling are involved in the raising of an edifice; it will convince us of the truth of a proposition, which might at first have appeared startling, that no man can be an architect, who is not a metaphysician.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Painting in Italy, Vol. 2 of 6: Umbria, Florence and Siena; From the Second to the Sixteenth Century; Giotto and the Giottesques In the Lower Church, of which the aisle had been painted in the early part of the thirteenth century, Cimabue probably adorned the right transept.2 Surrounded by the works Of Giotto, on the right hand of that part of the building, is one Of an earlier date represent ing a colossal Virgin and Child between four angels.3 Placed above the altar of the Conception, and much damaged by restoring, it reveals the manner of Cimabue. Its position among the frescoes Of Giotto points to an earlier period of production, and allows us to suppose that Giotto was reverent of the work Of his master4 as Raphael afterwards was reverent of the work of Perugino, and that he spared it as a memento on that account. For the same reason we may also believe there still remains near the same spot a large figure Of St. Francis, also by Cimabue.
