Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art in Painting In this book an effort is made to trace in the history Of painting the essential continuity Of the great traditions and to Show that the best Of the modern painters use the same means, to the same general ends, as did the great Florentines, Venetians, Dutchmen and Spaniards. TO Show that continuity, it has been necessary to analyze the plastic forms of the principal painters from the dawn Of the Italian Renaissance down to the present day. His torical data are treated as merely incidental: no attempt has been made to present a complete summary Of the history of painting, although no important movement and no really first-class artist has been entirely left out of account in the general evaluations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of the History of Painting The object of this series of text-books is to provide concise teachable histories of art for class-room use in schools and colleges. The limited time given to the study of art in the average educational institution has not only dictated the condensed style of the volumes, but has lim ited their scope of matter to the general features of art history. Archaeological discussions on special subjects and aesthetic theories have been avoided. The main facts of history as settled by the best authorities are given. If the reader choose to enter into particulars the bibliography cited at the head of each chapter will be found helpful. Illustrations have been introduced as sight-help to the text, and, to avoid repetition, abbreviations have been used wherever practicable. The enumeration of the principal extant works of an artist, school, or period, and where they may be found, which follows each chapter, may be service able not only as a summary of individual or school achieve ment, but for reference by travelling students in Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the history of art with this discussion of some of the world's greatest painters and their works. Wedmore's book opens with a brief introduction to painting, in which the author declares, "Of all pictorial Arts, major and minor... it is Painting that makes to the mass of us the easiest and most fascinating appeal." Wedmore holds painting alongside literature as a valuable record of the past, and believes the works of the world's great painters provides civilization with portals into specific periods of history. He does not hide his preferences, but rather embraces them as he takes the reader on a journey through time and place while discussing his most revered artists. Chapters are devoted to individuals such as Durer, Holbein, Hogarth, and Romney, as well as broader topics such as Spanish painters, later English art, French eighteenth-century art, and impressionism. A series of black and white reproductions serves as an appendix. Wedmore's book is one that will appeal to art historians or anybody that loves painting. It is a reference book, but one that does not pretend to be all encompassing. This is one man's guide (albeit one highly learned man) to his personal favorite artists, and does not attempt to be anything else. Wedmore does not apologize for leaving certain artists out of this book, and the reader ultimately benefits from the author's convictions. Painters and Painting is a wonderful book about a selection of the world's great artists and their paintings and fully deserves its place in anyone's library.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turner There is a story, one that might be difficult to authenticate, of a mediaeval monk, who, having departed this life, and being asked in his next stage of existence how he had enjoyed the beautiful world he had just left, replied that he had never seen its beauty. Had such a question been asked, under such conditions, this might well have been the reply, for Ruskin tells us that a monk of the Grande Chartreuse, when asked why the windows of the monastery faced inwards on a courtyard, instead of outwards over the valley, replied that he and his fellows had not gone there to look at the mountains.
