Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hand-Book of the History of Painting, Vol. 2 The Editor is conscious that this second part of Kugler's Hand-hook of Painting appears under great disadvantages. The volume already published bears on its title-page the name of an editor, in whom literary acquirements are combined With a most extensive knowledge, and With first-rate excellence in the practice of that art to Which the book relates The reader will remember that such qualities can not be expected often to meet in one and the same person, as the editor of a popular manual, and he Will look with indulgence on the remarks of a mere amateur, in Whom scanty opportunities for observa tion, and a sincere love of the productions of art, Will have to supply the place of so much*.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the History of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Age of Constantine the Great to the Present Time IT is the Author's wish to supply, by means of the present hand-book, a want which he himself sen sibly experienced when he first endeavoured to ac quire a general knowledge of the early history and pro gress of the Art of Painting. He found no short and easily-intelligible guide, pointing out to the unlearned the leading styles of Art, and serving as an introduc tion to the researches of our most recent writers. The book now submitted to the indulgence of the con noisseur first consisted only of notes compiled for private study; these were augmented and corrected by the inspection of the most important specimens of Art, and the whole was finally arranged with a due regard to chronological order. The work makes no pretension to originality; its sole object, as already stated, is, to form an introduction to the more valu able productions in the literature of Art. The Author only hopes he may have succeeded in fulfilling the most obvious requisites for this end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 2 of 2: The Italian Schools; Based on the Handbooks of Kugler The Dukes of Ferrara called to their service Niccolo Pisano and Pietro della Francesca, and both these distin guished painters may have had some share in forming the Ferrarese school, which, however, bears no witness to the influence of either of them, but, like other schools of North Italy, shows that of Sguarcione and Jacopo Bellini at Padua. It was not until the second half of the fifteenth century that the true Ferrarese school, which was destined to have so great an influence over the art of Central Italy, and which even indirectly contributed, as ill hereafter be seen, to the formation of Raphael and Correggio, may be said to have been founded by two painters who deserve special noticeflcosimo Tum, called il Cosme, and Francesco oossol.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 2 of 2: German, Flemish, and Dutch Schools Harmony of colour - was seen for the first time developed in the utmost perfection, while the other great qualities of general keeping, Chiaroscuro, and that treatment of the brush - not lost, as formerly, in a fused surface, but employed for purposes of modelling - found ready response in their art-sympathies. As regards the class of subjects also available for the treatment of art a proportionable change had taken place. To the Van Eycks and their school the deep religious feeling of their time had chie y appealed for expression, and only occasionally did other subjects find admittance into the atelier. Now in all countries which had adopted the Reformation in its stricter forms - such as Holland, Switzerland, and parts of Germany - the Church had entirely abolished the services of art. In Catholic lands, it is true, a new religious impulse had found birth towards the close of the sixteenth and in the first half of the seventeenth century, but even there the invention of printing had robbed the artist of what in the middle ages had been his most important function, that of imparting instruction to the laity. Endowed, however, as art was by that time with all the powers of representation, she still sought to devote herself to the glorification of religion. On the other hand, 'in the more general diffusion of knowledge, other classes of sub jects, such as mythology and profane history, etc., could no longer be excluded from the painter's mind; thus the very power to devote himself solely to the contemplation of religious themes became sensibly diminished. A large por tion of his interest, therefore, was absorbed by the forms of representation which then obtained favour with the world, and especially by those far-fetched allegorical scenes which sought to embody, in a cold and artificial form, the learn ing of the day. In Belgium even, which had remained Catholic, many painters devoted themselves to subject and landscape painting. At the same time these branches of art, including the study of animals and owers, played at all times a subordinate part in that country, and the smal number of painters who cultivated them belong especially to the earlier division of this period. It was in Protestant Holland that not only these forms of art found their full. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: A Text-Book Of The History Of Painting This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: The Italian Schools; Based on the Handbook of Kugler Signor Morelli's work caused a profound sensation especially in Germany, Where the study of Art is pursued with greater ardour, and upon more scientific principles, than in any other country. The novelty of his opinions, his method of analysis, and the unsparing way in which he destroyed the reputation of many famous pictures, and exposed the falsity of many time-honoured traditions in the history of painting, raised, at first, a storm of protests. But his Views have now, for the most part, been accepted, and have even led to extensive changes in the naming and classing of pictures in the principal German galleries; whilst in England and elsewhere his method of investigation has been approved and adopted by the ablest writers on Art. In his own country he has founded a school of criticism, and has had many distinguished followers.2i. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Painting From the Fourth to the Early Nineteenth Century, Vol. 2 of 2 As he himself experienced nothing sad, so his art is one of sunny joyfulness. As his life was passed without storms, without catastrophes, so he never painted thrill ing or convulsive pictures. Even when the subject is terrible, or violently dramatic, he remains mild and soft, pleasing and friendly. As his portrait has more a typical than an individual effect, so in his paintings everything individual is either eliminated or changed into the typical. As he never had conflicts either with his employers or with his assistants, but was as pliant and lovable in obeying as in giving orders, so there are no dissonances in his art. Everything that is hard and angular in nature is softened and rounded; and not only the individual forms but the composition moves in pliant, rhythmic lines. As his own life was a beautiful harmony, so his paintings fuse the gay many-sided ness of life into soft harmonies in which no movement or fold of drapery disturbs the pleasing unison.
