The Early Renaissance: Two Lectures Delivered at the Yale Art School, January 14 and 21 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Early Renaissance: Two Lectures Delivered at the Yale Art School, January 14 and 21

Rimini, which Dante was wont to go when he walked musing on his divine theme; and lifted by the place and its memories, my own thought was for a time freed from earthly objects and raised to something higher; and so 1 esteem it a great privi lege to enter with you, my friends, even a little way into that haunted region of the imagination, that world of art and beauty where the mind leaves its earthly cares behind and grows young again as in the golden prime; for the imagination ever ennobles if permitted to seek lofty and pure objects, recalling images of the mind's best moments, its truest life, its deepest thoughts.

Excerpt from The Early Renaissance: Two Lectures Delivered at the Yale Art School, January 14 and 21

The two historical lectures which follow were not intended for the critical instruction of students in the class-room, but were spoken to an audience of the friends and patrons of the Yale School of the Fine Arts, at its usual winter course of public lectures in 1880. A few changes have been made of words and phrases, and a few sentences added.
