Summary |
"It is the author's hope that though, from want of space, much critical and descriptive writing had to be avoided, yet that as to historical facts, the work will be found trustworthy. As a sketch, it may so far give a general idea of the subject and the chronological succession of artists, as to prove a useful introduction to the study of deeper authors; and may also serve to be of use as a handbook for Continental travellers." --Preface |
