Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Sculpture to See in Europe Possibly there are no collections of art in Europe where the general tourist needs more careful guiding than in the sculpture galleries. This is due first, to the fragmentary nature of the specimens of antique sculpture, and, second, to the fact that very few of the fragments are originals of the great masters of the past. Then, too, the general tourist in a sculpture gallery gives very little thought to the marred and broken pieces of marble, however rare the workmanship, unless special points of value are brought to the attention or some hint given as to their meaning and purpose. My aim in this book is to arouse an interest in masterpieces even if broken by the despoiler or marred by the restorer. To accomplish this I have given occasionally the historical setting of some pieces and the mythological story of others; such as the special prowess of some great man or the sublime power of a Roman matron; the biblical account of a lawgiver or the tender beauty of singing children.

Each park and the works of art exhibited therein are illustrated with photographs, drawings, and text.
