Book Description
Excerpt from Pictures in the Collection of P. A. B. Widener at Lynnewood Hall, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania: British and Modern French SchoolsChanges had been gradually taking effect in French art; but while in France artists were hampered by long-established traditions and official patronage, in England there were very few traditions and very little official patronage of native talent. One solitary art school in London had a flickering existence, and it is due to very little studio teaching that English artists effected their own evolution, but by constant efforts after higher attainments. If all the circumstances are taken into account, it must be admitted that English painting of the last half of the eighteenth century constitutes one of the most extraordinary forward movements in the history of art. No other country can show such a result; indeed, at that time other countries were satisfied with their achievements, and were even resting, in an artistic sense, on their oars. Early eighteenth-century art had little to be proud of; but by the time Hogarth had ceased railing at the black masters, English art challenged comparison with the greatest epochs of other countries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
