Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Masters and Their Pictures: For the Use of Schools and Learners in Art, With Illustrations From Paintings I wish to say, in a very few words, that this book is intended to be a simple account of the great Old Masters in painting of every age and country, with descriptions of their most famous works, for the use of learners and outsiders in art. The book is not, and could not well be, exhaustive in its nature. I have avoided definitions of schools, considering that these should form a later and more elaborate portion of art education, and preferring to group my 'painters' according to what I hold to be the primitive arrangements of time, country, and rank in art.
