Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Italian Sketch Book Tm: enthusiasm awakened by the general amnesty granted on the accession of Pius IX, and his subsequent liberal policy, begins, as might have been reasonably anticipated, to react; and already the actual good, which his measures have efl'ected, is called in question. Heretofore, the barriers raised by despotism to human progress in Italy, have been, in a great measure, effectual: now, whatever motives have actuated the Italian princes and whatever maybe their ultimate designs, the spirit of the age has penetrated the heart of Italy; and it is.too late for mere arbitrary power to oppose her political and social regeneration, although it may ia definitely postpone it. We are therefore justified in indulging san guine though not extravagant hopes, and there are signs of the times which are full of promise for that region of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Sketches Several of the following sketches have already been published, and I owe to the courtesy of Messrs. Macmillan and Messrs. Longman the permission to reprint them. Some will think my pictures of the Tuscan peasants flattered and highly coloured. I can only say that I have lived among them for eighteen years, and that nowhere does the golden rule, "Do as you would be done by," hold good so much as in Italy. We have not changed a servant since we came to live here, and they take as much care of, and as much pride in all that belongs to "us," as they say, as if it was their own property.

Download or read book The Midsummer of Italian Art Classic Reprint written by Frank Preston Stearns and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Midsummer of Italian Art IN the first edition of Midsummer I stated that my Object was to provide a comprehensive account of the greatest Italian painters, which might serve both as a book Of reference for American travellers in Europe, and to revive the recollections Of what they had seen after their return. In revising my book I have consid ered the request Of my friends and critics for a more thorough and complete analysis of the works of Raphael and Michel Angelo, as the two artists in whom the pub lic takes the liveliest interest. I have also amended the account Of Leonardo da Vinci so as to introduce a state ment of every picture which can be ascribed to him on reasonable grounds. Certain additions have also been made to the account of Correggio, but the similarity of his designs makes a complete list of his paintings of less importance than the others. In order to make the book as perfect as possible, I have compared my previous statements with those of the most distinguished writers on the subject, and where I became satisfied that I was formerly in error I have made such changes as were necessary, giving credit to the proper authority in a foot-note. This applies, how ever, chiefly to the account of Raphael, and in a less degree to Leonardo and Correggio. There is no thor ough-going criticism of Michel Angelo's works that I can hear of, in any language, and my own statement would seem to be the first attempt in that direction.

Download or read book History of Modern Italian Art Classic Reprint written by Ashton Rollins Willard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Modern Italian Art IN writing this book I trust that I have not taken a wholly one-sided view of my subject. I certainly have not been conscious of any wish either to de monstrate that the art-work of the period under con sideration was wholly good or that it was wholly bad. At the beginning I shared the feeling which we all have to some extent, that modern Italian art was degenerate, far removed in its standards and in its results from the art of the best period; but much study of the subject has led me to alter that view very materially. No one could have followed my line of work, step by step, without becoming convinced that the common feeling, to which I have alluded, was based to a certain extent upon prejudice and lack of information, and that a more generous attitude ought to be taken toward the men who, in the face of many discouragements, have so bravely struggled to redeem the art of the peninsula from the reproach which has been cast upon it.

Download or read book The Renaissance in Italian Art Sculpture and Painting Vol 1 of 3 written by Selwyn Brinton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Renaissance in Italian Art (Sculpture and Painting), Vol. 1 of 3: A Handbook for Students and Travellers They become interested in art, they' gain a certain knowledge of certain favourite painters, and there their progress remains; it is to this class, so large and so constantly increasing, in England, on the Continent, and in America, that this work appeals, because it presents a detailed, and yet, it is believed, a clearly-written and interesting account of the Italian schools, studied from that standpoint of evolution, which alone affords a chain of continued interest. In a work of this nature, which is thus essentially popular in its aim, a difficulty occurs in this fact, that points of more purely technical criticism, such, for instance, as the much - debated Rafaelle sketch book question (treated in Part III, Appendix) would affect the straightforward and simple character of the work, and yet in some cases can hardly be passed over. I have tried to meet this difficulty by treating them separately in the Appendix, which I will none the less commend to the reader's more careful interest. The work will consist of three parts, which will deal, speaking broadly, with the Florentine, Venetian, and Roman schools, though the lesser schools will find their place in the analysis.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Architectural Sketches: Chiefly Italian The present collection is wholly Italian, except that to the account of Ravenna I thought it well to join three other pieces, which, as describing Imperial dwell ing-places elsewhere, had a' close connexion historically, though not geographically. Of two of these cities, Ravenna and Trier, I have spoken more at length in articles in the British Quarterly Review but, as those articles rather belong to a series of a different character, that seemed no reason for suppressing the papers which gave my impressions on the spot. I hope that I may some day be able to continue the present attempt by other collections, from our own island, from France and other parts of Gaul, from Germany, and, above all, from Dalmatia.

It is always a peculiar pleasure to me to possess a memorial of the past, especially if that past has been marked by change of scene, or the calling forth of new feelings; but to be able thereby to recall vividly those scenes and feelings, so as to share them with those who have either experienced or can sympathize with them, makes such a record more valuable still. The painful part of leaving England and our own quiet home just now. is the consequent separation from our dear child, thankful though we are that she will be most kindly and tenderly cared for.
