Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the Most Eminent British Painters, Vol. 1 Besides this work of editing, it was deemed desirable, for the further utility of a standard work, that it should be continued down to the present day. I have therefore prepared short biographies of some of the most eminent British artists who have died since Cunningham's time. Want of space has compelled the omission of many names that otherwise might well claim a place, especially those of our great water-colour painters, who have, without doubt, risen to high eminence. Possibly their lives may be added at some future time, but for the present I have been obliged to confine my work exclusively to painters in oil, selecting among these such as are best known to fame, or who seemed most noteworthy. Continuations are gene rally dull affairs, and I cannot pretend that my Lives are written in the same lively vein as Cunningham's: still I hope they will not be found without value and interest. And as our interest in any work is always greater if we know something of the author, I have also added a short account of Allan Cunningham himself - the sturdy Scotch stonemason, who by his own unaided exertions achieved both independence and fame, and who has written one of the best works of biography in the English language.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the Most Eminent British Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, Vol. 5 However he came by it, Jamesone acquired such skill in painting as attracted the notice of his countrymen: he was advised to seek abroad what he could not find at home; and had the good sense or the good fortune to establish him self in the studio of Rubens, with whom he re mained for several years in the company of Vandyke. We know that in the year 1619 Van dyke left his great master and went into Italy and the inscription on a picture by Jamesone in forms us, that in 1623 he was a husband and a father, and pursuing his profession in Scotland. It is, therefore, probable that the latter was some thirty years old before he visited the Nether lands -a ripe age; yet students of threescore years and more are not unknown to academies. I have seen William Blake, within a few years of his death, studying at Somerset House with all the ardour of youth; and other names not less distinguished might be cited.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the Most Eminent British Painters and Sculptors, Vol. 5 of 5 MY undertaking is now concluded, and I have the agreeable duty of thanking my friends for their aid, the public for its kindness, and critics for much mildness and forbearance. I at first imagined that three volumes, or at most four, would hold all I had to say but as the work ad vanced, new sources of intelligence were Opened. What was intended for a sketch took a more im portant form, and I soon perceived that I required more room, and greater fulness, both of narration and remark. The deaths, too, of such men as Lawrence and Jackson obliged me to extend my plan nor am I sure that I have yet admitted all artists of merit and genius into my volumes. In tracing the lives and delineating the charac ters of the chief men of our native school of art, I have endeavoured to be scrupulously impartial it was my wish to speak warmly of merits and can didly of faults, and in no way to sacrifice my own opinion in matters either of taste or conduct.
