PREFACE.
The object of this series of text-books is to provide conciseteachable histories of art for class-room use in schools and colleges.The limited time given to the study of art in the average educationalinstitution has not only dictated the condensed style of the volumes,but has limited their scope of matter to the general features of arthistory. Archæological discussions on special subjects and æsthetictheories have been avoided. The main facts of history as settled bythe best authorities are given. If the reader choose to enter intoparticulars the bibliography cited at the head of each chapter will befound helpful. Illustrations have been introduced as sight-help to thetext, and, to avoid repetition, abbreviations have been used whereverpracticable. The enumeration of the principal extant works of anartist, school, or period, and where they may be found, which followseach chapter, may be serviceable not only as a summary of individualor school achievement, but for reference by travelling students inEurope.
This volume on painting, the first of the series, omits mention ofsuch work in Arabic, Indian, Chinese, and Persian art as may comeproperly under the head of Ornament—a[viii] subject proposed for separatetreatment hereafter. In treating of individual painters it has beenthought best to give a short critical estimate of the man and his rankamong the painters of his time rather than the detailed facts of hislife. Students who wish accounts of the lives of the painters shoulduse Vasari, Larousse, and the Encyclopædia Britannica in connectionwith this text-book.
Acknowledgments are made to the respective publishers of Woltmann andWoermann's History of Painting, and the fine series of art historiesby Perrot and Chipiez, for permission to reproduce some fewillustrations from these publications.
