Sinopsis

Excerpt from Studies in Pictures: An Introduction to the Famous Galleries

The masterpieces of painting need no apologies; if they did they would not be masterpieces. Some times, however, a word of explanation puts them in a better light. Gallery visitors are disposed to jump at conclusions about them, to exalt or debase them in advance of the evidence. That is why so many tourists return from Europe each season with mixed or violent opinions about the old masters. They have not seen truly nor comprehended adequately nor judged justly. For them, or for the newer and younger flight that goes over seas each summer to study art, possibly this little volume may prove of service. It is not put forth as the final word; in fact, it is only the first word - something designed to in troduce the subject to further consideration.
