Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Portraits as Seen and Described by Great Writers It is hard for us in this day of photographs to realize what portrait-painting meant to the world even as late as a century ago. The only way to record the features and figure was by means of pencil or brush; hence the art of portraiture became a most important and lucrative branch of painting. The greatest masters excelled in it, and some of them are remembered chiefly, if not solely, by their portraits. It is impossible within the limits of a small volume adequately to represent all of the great masters of portraiture; but I have endeavoured to present as many styles of treatment and varieties of subject as possible, besides including certain portraits of renown. The book will, therefore, offer many interesting points of study; for many of the selections describe the canvas briefly and dwell at length upon the artist's method of work and his peculiarities of touch and treatment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Paintings as Seen and Described by Famous Writers It will be interesting to the student to compare them with Murillo's, Correggio's, and Ribera's Holy Families. It will also be interesting to consider the different treatment that Raphael and Carpaccio give the ever popular legend of St. George and the Dragon. I have generally selected authors who are not only com petent to speak with authority, but who describe interest ingly, the pictures and the artists who made them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Paintings as Seen and Described by Great Writers To present in a book of this size a gallery of modern paintings that would be entirely satisfactory is manifestly impossible, for it is needless to remind the reader that paint ing in the Nineteenth Century has undergone so many phases and developments that it would be out of the question even to include a specimen of every important school, much less to represent every famous master.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Word Portraits of Famous Writers And the worth of the book naturally consists in keeping to the lines already indicated. An asterisk placed under the given reference means that the writer of that particular portrait (who is not necessarily the writer of that particular book) did not actually see his subject, but that he is de scribing a picture, or else that he is building up one from substantiated evidence. Some times, as in the case of Suckling, this dis tinction leads to the same book supplying two portraits, only one of which is at first hand. When a date is placed at the foot of a description, it refers to the appearance pre sented at that time, and not to the period when the words were penned. British writers only are named, and amongst them there is of course no living author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eminent Authors of the Nineteenth Century: Literary Portraits The nine essays of which this book consists, and of which even those that have already appeared in periodicals, have been thoroughly revised, are not to be regarded as Chips from the Workshop of a critic 5 they are carefully treated literary portraits, united by a spiritual tie. Men have sat for them, with whom the author, with one exception (es Tegner), has been personally acquainted, or of whom he has at least had a close view. To be sure, the same satisfactory survey cannot always be taken of a living present as of a completed past epoch but perhaps a picture of the present as a whole may be furnished, the general physiognomy may be arrived at, by characterizing as faithfully and vividly as possible, some of its typical forms.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Paintings as Seen and Described by Famous Writers In making a second collection of masterpieces of paintings that have given pleasure and afforded inspiration to many generations of mankind, I have endeavoured to represent several great painters who did not appear in my former volume, of which this is, in some measure, a continuation. Crivelli, Luini, Giorgione, Moroni, Landseer, Mantegna and Perugino are among those who were left out of Great Pictures for lack of space. Even now, looking at the two volumes together, many favourite pictures will be missed; but it must be remembered how impossible it is to include within the limits of two small books every work that justly holds a firm place in the affections of all who love and reverence great art. The pictures in this series are not only paintings with great reputations, but each one is a painting of the very first rank. Many of them have peculiar charms of originality; for instance, Carpaccio's Due Cortigiane Veneziane which Ruskin considers one of the best pictures in the world, is unique, and it is perhaps, one of the earliest paintings in which animals and human figures apparently receive the same enthusiastic attention from the artist.

The term choir is sometimes loosely applied to the whole Of the eastern limb. Strictly it applies just to that part of the church where the stalls are; and that part, as in St. Al ban's and Norwich, need not necessarily be in the eastern limb at all, but in the crossing and in the easternmost bays of the nave.
