Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masterpieces of Painting Their Qualities and Meanings, an Introductory Study Since the larger things Miss Jewett purposed will not now come to fruition, a word may be said of a life and work for which this book can be but partial evidence. Desire and marked ability led her early to determine on the professional study and practice of art. In 1886 she began the arduous training of an art student in Paris, where she studied under the two great masters, Benjamin Constant and Jules Lefebvre. In 1888 her first Salon picture was accepted; it was a portrait, and as such indicative of the interest that dominated the larger part of her later creative work. For several years she was more or less continuously abroad, gleaning richly from the art of the various European countries in which she found herself. The serious historical study of her subject, long since begun, became of increasing importance to the young artist. In 1892 she made her first pilgrimage to Italy, and henceforth her love for its art, its literature, its people, for the lovely land itself, was an abiding and ever deepening influence in her life. She returned to Italy again and again, and she brought from it always an ardent gospel of beauty and delight.
