Excerpt from Contemporary Portraits: Fourth Series But what dreadful brainless reticence! The souls of great men, I have often said, are the Jacob's Ladder leading from Earth to Heaven: it is by knowledge of them, of their heart, and essence, and in being that the younger ones must grow in their turn, mounting rung by rung. To leave such a gap is nothing less than a crime - for this is the very quiddity and quintessence of Balzac.

Excerpt from Contemporary Portraits (Third Series) You might as well try to paint a wave and at the same time, its chemical constituents and its myriad animal'culae. You think of your friend's chief Characteristic, the most prominent and peculiar trait of his nature and before you have got it on the paper, you recognize that he might correct you and declare that the opposite and antagonistic quality had guided him again and again and in fact finally determined his life's course. Each one of us is made up of a myriad contradictories and no man has been able as yet to paint, his own spirit in its entirety, let alone a stranger's, for we are all strangers one to another and lonely from the cradle to the grave, alone and forlorn.

Excerpt from Description of the Wilton House Diptych, Containing a Contemporary Portrait of King Richard the Second The Ashmolcan manuscript has been printed in 1757 in quarto, under the supervision of George Vertue, entitled "A Catalogue and Description of King Charles the First's Capital Collection." The following passage, at page 173, near the end of the volume, relates to the picture which is about to occupy our attention: - "An altarpiece with two shutting all over gilded "doors, wherein is painted on the one side Richard the "Second sideling, kneeling in his golden robes to our Lady, "besides him standing St. John Baptist with a white lamb, "and King Edward the Confessor, with a ring on his left "hand, standing by, and St. Edmund with an arrow in his "left hand, and upon the other door, our Lady and Christ, "and some eleven Angels all in blue, with garlands of roses "upon their heads, the badge of the white hind upon their "left shoulders; on the outside of the door, the arms of "Edward the Confessor, with a red hat and mantle; which "said piece was given to the King, by Sir James Palmer, who "had it of the Lord Jennings. Length 1 foot 9 inches." This, it will be observed, on comparison with the Chromolithograph, is not altogether a precise description; but allowance is to be made for the writer being a foreigner. Vander Doort, however, had been a considerable time in England, as he quitted the service of the Emperor of Germany Rodolph II., and attached himself to Henry, Prince of Wales, who died in 1612. He was appointed medallist to King Charles I. in 1625. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Old Portraits and Modern Sketches I could have dipped into a style higher than this in which I have discoursed, and could have adorned all things more than here I have seemed to do; but I dared not. God did not play in tempting me; neither did I play when I sunk, as it were, into a bottomless pit, when the pangs of hell took hold on me; wherefore, I may not play in relating of them, but be plain and simple, and lay down the thing as it was.

Excerpt from Tennyson: A Modern Portrait MY aim in this book has been to create a living portrait of a poet and a man as I have conceived him after a close study both of his life and his poetry and of their intimate reactions. For twenty years of middle life, the period contained in Part II. And some of Part III. Of this book, Tenny son's poetry supplies the more vital and explicit evidence. In youth and in later life it exists rather as the implicit habit of his life, from which, therefore, I have been careful not to disentangle it.

Excerpt from The History of Modern Painting, Vol. 4 of 4 Hen the English gallery in the Munich International Exhibition was opened in the summer of 1888 there hung a full-length portrait in the centre of the principal wall. The model was a tall and very slender woman she seemed in the act of stepping away from the spectator towards the back ground oi the picture, and was seen in profile just as she turned her head, throwing back a last glance before vanishing. It was Lady Archibald Camp bell, one oi the most beautiful women in England. In this portrait she lived in all her charm, with her fragile figure, her blond hair, her aristocratic hands and deep eyes. Or, in better words, the likeness gave the essence of her haughty and distinguished beauty, what remains of a figure when the artist has eliminated from his impression everything which is not in the highest degree refined and exquisite. In the face of this sylph-like being as she floated away into the picture there was an expression of slight contempt, as if this beautiful woman had pity on all the plain crowd in the exhibition whom she would have to contemplate, or all the unfortunate, badly painted portraits hanging around. The whole figure stood out in grey against a black back ground, being only enlivened in a soft way by delicate greyish-blue and brownish-grey tones, with a little blond colour and a little rose-colour. Never theless the picture was full of air, a strangely soft harmonious air. It was felt that the model was living, walking, and moving. It was a great work of art, the work of a master, the work of james M 'n eill Whistler. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Great Portraits as Seen and Described by Great Writers T is hard for us in this day of photographs to realize what portrait-painting meant to the world even as late as a century ago. The only way to record the features and figure was by means of pencil or brush; hence the art of portraiture became a most important and lucrative branch of painting. The greatest masters excelled in it, and some of them are remembered chiefly, if not solely, by their por traits.
