Excerpt from Classic and Italian Painting
In this, the first volume of Illustrated Text-Books of Art Education, the history of Classic Art and the general summary of Italian Art are written by Mr. Percy R. Head. The chapter on Egyptian Art, the accounts of the rise and progress of the various Schools of Painting in Italy - as well as the general criticisms on styles - are added by the Editor.
The wood-engravings have been selected from the best available sources, and great pains have been taken to procure illustrations of each important School.
To insure accuracy in dates and other biographical particulars, reference has been made to the latest authorities, especially to the works of Mr. J. A. Crowe. Any correction or suggestion of alterations will be very thankfully received by the Publishers.
