Book Description
Excerpt from Famous Paintings as Seen and Described by Famous Writers It will be interesting to the student to compare them with Murillo's, Correggio's, and Ribera's Holy Families. It will also be interesting to consider the different treatment that Raphael and Carpaccio give the ever popular legend of St. George and the Dragon. I have generally selected authors who are not only com petent to speak with authority, but who describe interest ingly, the pictures and the artists who made them.
