Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Art, Vol. 1 of 2 The increased interest shown in works of sculpture and painting during the last twenty years may be perceived by various favourable symptoms. This interest is not merely shown by delight in beauty of form, but it is combined with that deeper attraction towards historical knowledge which pervades our time. After Kugler, in his 'Handbook to Art History, ' had for the first time traversed the whole grand field of art, and represented it in distinct outline, and Schnaase, in his 'History of the Plastic Arts, ' had profoundly investigated and cleverly displayed the connection of artistic creations with the innermost life of nations and epochs, the desire for acquaintance with this historical progress of the arts was awakened in cultivated circles, and at the same time the conviction gained ground that the enjoyment of a work of art was materially increased by the understanding of its historical existence. In the meanwhile, inquiry extended over all branches and epochs of the history of art, and such an amount of facts were brought out of darkness and oblivion, that even those who took active interest in the matter were dazzled by the infinity of the material. The scientific works on art history necessarily increased in extent, as from year to year there appeared a growing accumulation of material.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the History of Art, Vol. 1 of 2 Dr. Lubke's grundriss der kunstgeschichte was first pub lished in 1860. The eleventh edition was published in 1 891, and was really a revised edition; but it was still the old book, containing many of the characteristics of the original issue. Since 1891 much has been added to the scholar's knowledge of archaology and to the critic's perception of artistic truth; but, since 1 860, the whole point of View has changed. The history of art which is possible to-day was unthinkable in 1860; many assumptions have been proved untrue; many known facts have wholly different explana tions now, from those once thought sufficient. The amount of added fact is incredibly great and important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
