Book Description
Excerpt from Handbook of Historic Schools of Painting The aim of the author is to give in a more simple and condensed form than has hitherto been attempted some general knowledge of the principal historic schools of painting, their characteristics, chief artists, and some of the most noted paintings executed by each. This book is the outgrowth of lectures given to classes of students, who, from lack of time and opportunity, were unable to undertake the study of the voluminous standard works which treat of the subject, and it is hoped that it will meet the want of many other such students. All dates and other facts regarding painters and their pictures have been carefully studied and are believed to be authentic. The authorities consulted have been chiefly Lübké, Kügler, Wornum, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and Mrs. Jameson.

Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: The Italian Schools; Based on the Handbook of Kugler Signor Morelli's work caused a profound sensation especially in Germany, Where the study of Art is pursued with greater ardour, and upon more scientific principles, than in any other country. The novelty of his opinions, his method of analysis, and the unsparing way in which he destroyed the reputation of many famous pictures, and exposed the falsity of many time-honoured traditions in the history of painting, raised, at first, a storm of protests. But his Views have now, for the most part, been accepted, and have even led to extensive changes in the naming and classing of pictures in the principal German galleries; whilst in England and elsewhere his method of investigation has been approved and adopted by the ablest writers on Art. In his own country he has founded a school of criticism, and has had many distinguished followers.2i. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 2 of 2: The Italian Schools; Based on the Handbook of Kugler The founder, in some measure and in an inferior sense, of this school, was Francesco Squarcione, 1394-1474. This artist was born and bred to the calling of an embroiderer one of no small importance at that period, and closely allied to the practice of art. He is stated to have travelled in Italy and Greece and to have collected specimens and made drawings from objects of ancient art. On his return to Padua he started a school richly furnished with such models, which soon became largely frequented. At the same time he seems to have had but small ability himself as a painter, but to have officiated rather as undertaking, by means of his staff of pupils and workmen, to execute commissions of various kinds, ranging from designs for altar-cloths and tarsz'a, to the grand works of the Eremitani Chapel. It is difficult to identify any certain work existing by Squarcione, though his name is liberally given to productions of peculiar un attractiveness. An altar-piece in the Paduan Gallery, and a Virgin and Child in the Casa Lazzara, are both assigned to him. The latter is signed Opus Squarcioni pictoris. These two show a dissimilarity only to be reconciled by sup posing one or both to be the work of a scholar - the master's name being attached to whatever issued from his school.

Book Description
Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 2 of 2: German, Flemish, and Dutch Schools Harmony of colour - was seen for the first time developed in the utmost perfection, while the other great qualities of general keeping, Chiaroscuro, and that treatment of the brush - not lost, as formerly, in a fused surface, but employed for purposes of modelling - found ready response in their art-sympathies. As regards the class of subjects also available for the treatment of art a proportionable change had taken place. To the Van Eycks and their school the deep religious feeling of their time had chie y appealed for expression, and only occasionally did other subjects find admittance into the atelier. Now in all countries which had adopted the Reformation in its stricter forms - such as Holland, Switzerland, and parts of Germany - the Church had entirely abolished the services of art. In Catholic lands, it is true, a new religious impulse had found birth towards the close of the sixteenth and in the first half of the seventeenth century, but even there the invention of printing had robbed the artist of what in the middle ages had been his most important function, that of imparting instruction to the laity. Endowed, however, as art was by that time with all the powers of representation, she still sought to devote herself to the glorification of religion. On the other hand, 'in the more general diffusion of knowledge, other classes of sub jects, such as mythology and profane history, etc., could no longer be excluded from the painter's mind; thus the very power to devote himself solely to the contemplation of religious themes became sensibly diminished. A large por tion of his interest, therefore, was absorbed by the forms of representation which then obtained favour with the world, and especially by those far-fetched allegorical scenes which sought to embody, in a cold and artificial form, the learn ing of the day. In Belgium even, which had remained Catholic, many painters devoted themselves to subject and landscape painting. At the same time these branches of art, including the study of animals and owers, played at all times a subordinate part in that country, and the smal number of painters who cultivated them belong especially to the earlier division of this period. It was in Protestant Holland that not only these forms of art found their full. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
