Excerpt from Concerning Portraits and Portraiture But all painters inevitably approach their sitters with a predisposition to see in them a certain class of facts, rather than another class that may equally be present. And not only is this true of those who are artists by profession. We are all artists in a degree, although we may lack the power of expressing our ideas in paint.

Excerpt from Concerning Portraits and Portraiture I once heard a conversation between two painters of portraits. One of them said "When I have a sitter I think to myself, 'this is just one of the great human family,' so I make a general representation of a human being, and then add so much of individual peculiarity as is needed to make the picture recognizable as a portrait." The other painter said "My first thought is of the extraordinary peculiarities of this face and figure that I am about to paint. I notice how long the nose is, how wide apart the eyes, how firm the mouth, how drooping the shoulders, etc. These eccentricities appear so piquant and novel, they absorb me so deeply in the effort to seize and reproduce them, that I have to force myself to generalize and soften the effort, for fear of making a caricature." In these two painters we have clearly marked types of two ways of looking at portraiture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Great Portraits: Children Still, practically every great painter has tried his hand at painting children at least once or twice, and most of them have produced excellent work; only a man may turn out a very respectable portrait of a child and yet not be a true painter of children. To do that well there is needed a certain insight into child charac ter. Not that a child has a very subtle or complicated character, but it is a character all the same and one that can be divined only by sympathy. Constable once said that to a man who approached Nature in an arrogant spirit her choicest beauties re mained forever veiled. One might 'say this particularly about children. We feel instinctively that only those who love children can paint them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Historical Portraits: Some Notes on the Painted Portraits of Celebrated Characters of England, Scotland, and Ireland is an excellent volume on art history, and more specifically portraiture. It is the work of English author and editor Henry Benjamin Wheatley containing reproductions and detailed entries on more than one hundred English, Irish, and Scottish portraits In Historical Portraits Wheatley remarks in his opening that the painting of portraits was one of the most widespread artistic endeavors in English history. The purpose of the book is thus to create a general catalogue of these works. The book is divided into chapters, each of which details a different segment of painted portraits. There are chapters on spurious and misnamed portraits, amateur portrait painters, portraits of professionals, portraits of actors and actresses, portraits of common people, and several more subjects. As a volume about artwork, this title rightfully includes a significant number of illustrations. Henry Benjamin Wheatley was a portrait enthusiast and a man knowledgeable of art history, and both of these attributes help to shape this text. Wheatley has selected a wide range of portraits for interpretation, ranging from images of a common farmer to members of the aristocracy. The author's textual descriptions and analysis are thorough, well researched, and regularly illuminating. Even readers with a significant knowledge of the subject matter will find this to be an informative read. Wheatley tells both the history of artists and their subjects as well as a broader history of the development of England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. If you are interested in either English history, art history or portraits you would be wise to consider this title.

Excerpt from On the Original Portraits of Dante Of all the portraits Of the revival of Art, there is none comparable in interest to this likeness of the supreme poet by the supreme artist of medieval Europe. It was due to no accident of fortune that these men were contempora ries, and of the same country; but it was a fortunate and 'delightful incident, that they were so brought together by sympathy of genius and by favoring circumstance as to become friends, to love and honor each other in life, and to celebrate each other through all time in their re spective works. The story of their friendship is known only in its outline, but that it began when they were young is certain, and that it lasted till death divided them is a tradition which finds ready acceptance.

Excerpt from The National Portrait Gallery, Vol. 1 The Illustrated Catalogue of the National Portrait Gallery may be considered as a fitting sequel to the Illustrated Catalogue of the National Gallery, published by Messrs. Cassell and Company in 1899. The National Portrait Gallery was founded in 1856, and was at first housed in temporary premises at 29, Great George Street, Westminster. In 1869 the collection was removed to the eastern portion of the Long Building at South Kensington, where it remained until the autumn of 1885, when, owing to increased danger from fire, the collection was transferred on temporary loan to the Science and Art Department at the Bethnal Green Museum. Although this was intended to be but a temporary measure, no steps were taken to provide this interesting collection with a permanent home, or seemed at all likely to be taken, until May, 1889, when William Henry Alexander, Esq., of Shipton, Andover, Hants, generously offered to build a National Portrait Gallery at his own expense. This offer having been accepted by h.m. Government, a site was allotted in St. Martin's Place in the rear of the National Gallery, and the new building commenced in October, 1890. The new Gallery was completed in April, 1895, Mr. Alexander contributing to its cost and hm. Government f The collection was then moved into-the new building, and the Gallery opened to the public on Saturday, April 4th, 1896.
