Excerpt from Great Portraits as Seen and Described by Great Writers It 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 portraits. It is impossible within the limits of a small volume adequately to represent all of the great masters of portraiture; but I have endeavoured to present as many styles of treatment and varieties of subject as possible, besides including certain portraits of renown. The book will, therefore, offer many interesting points of study; for many of the selections describe the canvas briefly and dwell at length upon the artist's method of work and his peculiarities of touch and treatment.

Excerpt from Modern Paintings as Seen and Described by Great Writers To present in a book of this size a gallery of modern paintings that would be entirely satisfactory is manifestly impossible, for it is needless to remind the reader that painting in the Nineteenth Century has undergone so many phases and developments that it would be out of the question even to include a specimen of every important school, much less to represent every famous master. When we survey French Art, for example, from the days of Gros and David to those of Manet, Monet and Degas, or American Art from the days of Copley, West and Stuart to those of Abbey, Whistler and Sargent, the field is indeed crowded with figures. It would be interesting to wander into Russia, Austria, Hungary, Scandinavia, Italy and Spain and exhibit what the artists of the Nineteenth Century have done and what of their work is individual and what has been inspired by the Spirit of the Age. Space, however, insists that we hang here only some of the most striking and famous pictures of the century that has just drawn to a close, and represent only painters who have enjoyed the greatest vogue, who have been founders of schools, or who are ever growing in popular estimation, like Alfred Stevens, for example.
