Rese�a del editor

Rome not comfortable their beauty is dimmed, if not hidden, by the glamour of the memorials that the imperial city has kept for us of her golden days; so that one constantly hears it said Oh, there are no pictures in Rome! They are there, but endowed, as it would seem, with a shy sensibility, they seclude themselves from the eyes of all but the diligent seeker. And in no city that I know can such a seeker trace the history of art from its source as one can in Rome. A really great picture has a life of its own, it has directed its creator, being a revelation to him as to succeeding generations if they know how to look. But the spectator must be self-effacing, making his vision a clear glass through which the soul of the picture can appear. Few people make this endeavour in looking at a painting. They rarely allow their eyes to be the mirror for larger dreams than their own. Watch the crowd of sightseers in a gallery, it is on the pages of their guide-books that their eyes are fixed, they raise them to search for a piccure marked with an asterisk, and with the cry, I have found it, they return to the page to seek another title similarly distinguished. A spectator, fresh to the gallery, might imagine them engaged in some childish game.
