Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Picture Collector's Manual, Adapted to the Professional Man, and the Amateur, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a Dictionary of Painters, Containing Fifteen Hundred More Names Than in Any Other Work; Together With an Alphabetical Arrangement of the Scholars, Imitators, and Copyists of the Various Masters The Fine Arts had long been on the decline in the classic regions of Greece and Italy, and although the lambent ame of genius, continued to hover between those countries, and in Egypt, its in uence was scarcely felt in either, if we may judge from the rude specimens with which we have been furnished, until the commence ment of the thirteenth century, at about which period, a spark of its sacred fire appears to have fallen upon Cimabue, who by his example, gave a new impulse to the art, and thus laid the foundation of that greatness, to which the Florentine School now lays claim. Cimabue, the founder of that school, and of the modern art of painting, was born in Florence, in 1240 he had received some instruo tion in that branch of the Arts, and also in architecture and sculpture, but his labours had been confined to the mere copying of the works of others, disdaining those trammels, he determined to take nature for his guide, and soon acquired that confidence in his own powers, from which arose the germ of excellence, that about two centuries afterwards, began to overspread the whole of Italy. The paintings of Cimabue, who has been called the Michael Angelo of that period, were all of a scriptural or religious character, boldly conceived and splendidly coloured, but the attitudes of his figures were stifi, the outlines harsh, and the extremities bad; his male heads, particularly of old men, were dignified and impressive, but those of females possessed neither beauty nor delicacy, the eyes were generally wide and staring, and the nostrils too much spread, the fingers lean, and the toes peaked and unnatural. Nevertheless, Cimabue had his admirers, and one of his pictures of the Virgin was borne in procession to one of the churches in that city, accompanied by music he died in 1300.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the mid-nineteenth century a debate arose over the form and functions of the public art museum in Britain. Various occurrences caused new debates in Parliament and in the press about the purposes of the public museum which checked the relative complacency with which London's national collections had hitherto been run. This book examines these debates and their influence on the development of professionalism within the museum, trends in collecting and tendencies in museum architecture and decoration. In so doing it accounts for the general development of the London museums between 1850 and 1880, with particular reference to the National Gallery. This involves analysis of art display and its relations with art historiography, alongside institutional and architectural developments at the British Museum, the South Kensington Museum and the National Gallery. It is argued that the underpinning factor in all of these developments was a reformulation of the public museum's mission, which was in turn related to the electoral reform movement. In a potential situation of mass enfranchisement, the 'masses' should be well educated; the museum was openly identified as a useful institution in this sense. This consideration also influenced approaches to collecting and arranging artworks and to configuring their architectural setting within the museum, allowing for displays to be instructive in specific ways. Dissatisfaction with the British Museum and National Gallery buildings and their locations led to proposals to move the national collections, possibly merging and redefining them. Again the socio-political usefulness of the museum was key in determining where the national collections should be housed and in what form of building. This rich debate is analysed with full references to the various forums in and out of Parliament. Part one covers these issues in a thematic structure, examining all of the national collections, their interrelationships and their gradual development of discrete (yet sometimes arbitrary) museological territories. Part two focuses on the individual case of the National Gallery, observing how museological debate was brought to bear on the development of a specific institution. Every architectural development and redisplay is closely analysed in order to gauge the extent to which the products of debate were carried through into practice, and to comprehend the reasons why no museological grand project emerged in London.
