Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Pictures, as Seen and Described by Famous Writers My task has not been a light one. A few words of rapturous admiration are constantly to be met with in the pages of art-lovers, but a sympathetic study of a single work is rarely found. General comment of a given artist's work is also plentiful, while discriminating praise of individual canvases is scanty. The literary selection has, therefore, involved a great deal of research.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Paintings as Seen and Described by Famous Writers It will be interesting to the student to compare them with Murillo's, Correggio's, and Ribera's Holy Families. It will also be interesting to consider the different treatment that Raphael and Carpaccio give the ever popular legend of St. George and the Dragon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Portraits as Seen and Described by Great Writers T is hard for us in this day of photographs to realize what portrait-painting meant to the world even as late as a century ago. The only way to record the features and figure was by means of pencil or brush; hence the art of portraiture became a most important and lucrative branch of painting. The greatest masters excelled in it, and some of them are remembered chiefly, if not solely, by their por traits.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Buildings: As Seen and Described by Famous Writers I have endeavoured to find descriptions that deal with both views, giving the history of the building itself, and a description of its architectural features; and as this book contains, in consequence, a great variety of buildings of all periods and many countries, the student of both art and history will doubtless find pleasure in comparing these various styles of architecture and in composing a mental picture of events that have occurred within their walls.

Download or read book Word Portraits of Famous Writers Classic Reprint written by Mabel E. Wotton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Word Portraits of Famous Writers And the worth of the book naturally consists in keeping to the lines already indicated. An asterisk placed under the given reference means that the writer of that particular portrait (who is not necessarily the writer of that particular book) did not actually see his subject, but that he is de scribing a picture, or else that he is building up one from substantiated evidence. Some times, as in the case of Suckling, this dis tinction leads to the same book supplying two portraits, only one of which is at first hand. When a date is placed at the foot of a description, it refers to the appearance pre sented at that time, and not to the period when the words were penned. British writers only are named, and amongst them there is of course no living author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Paintings as Seen and Described by Famous Writers In making a second collection of masterpieces of paintings that have given pleasure and afforded inspiration to many generations of mankind, I have endeavoured to represent several great painters who did not appear in my former volume, of which this is, in some measure, a continuation. Crivelli, Luini, Giorgione, Moroni, Landseer, Mantegna and Perugino are among those who were left out of Great Pictures for lack of space. Even now, looking at the two volumes together, many favourite pictures will be missed; but it must be remembered how impossible it is to include within the limits of two small books every work that justly holds a firm place in the affections of all who love and reverence great art. The pictures in this series are not only paintings with great reputations, but each one is a painting of the very first rank. Many of them have peculiar charms of originality; for instance, Carpaccio's Due Cortigiane Veneziane which Ruskin considers one of the best pictures in the world, is unique, and it is perhaps, one of the earliest paintings in which animals and human figures apparently receive the same enthusiastic attention from the artist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Cathedrals as Seen and Described by Great Writers The western limb of the cathedral is called the nave. The term choir is sometimes loosely applied to the whole Of the eastern limb. Strictly it applies just to that part of the church where the stalls are; and that part, as in St. Al ban's and Norwich, need not necessarily be in the eastern limb at all, but in the crossing and in the easternmost bays of the nave.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Pictures Described With Anecdotes of the Painters It has been the endeavor of the author to fix the at tention of the reader upon the painting itself - to tell something of its qualities as a picture and to impart some little idea of the painter's art. Besides this, there is much collateral interest in the pictures selected interest directly related to things which every one must sooner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictures From English History, by the Great Historical Artists England, or, at least, to serve as starting-points from which to prosecute further inquiry. The subjects having been selected, the aim has been to choose the best authors. Here the compiler has experienced his greatest difficulty, owing to the embarrassment of riches. One cannot hope to escape criticism from every reader familiar with the wealth of word-painting in English historical and biographical literature. To one who may wonder at the judgment which omitted his favorite passages, it can only be said that decisions have been reached through a desire to secure at once specimens from as many representative writers as possible, so as to give as varied and striking a series as the space would allow. The selections in the earlier part of the book are from writers who have prepared condensed histories, and thus helped us to cover much ground in a single chapter. The later chapters will be found, if less comprehensive, more crowded with the gems and masterpieces of historical literature.

It is impossible within the limits of a small volume adequately to represent all of the great masters of portraiture; but I have endeavoured to present as many styles of treatment and varieties of subject as possible, besides including certain portraits of renown. The book will, therefore, offer many interesting points of study; for many of the selections describe the canvas briefly and dwell at length upon the artist's method of work and his peculiarities of touch and treatment.
