Présentation de l'éditeur
The author, at the conclusion of the course of public lectures which he gave at the School of Fine A rts, has willingly consented, at the request of many of his hearers, to publish his lectures in this book, which he has now the honour of placing before you. Having no pretension to give to his colleagues lessons, or even advice, except for the preservation of their works, the author will pass over all questions of beauty of drawing, of anatomy, of perspective and of composition, which form part of the art of painting, but which have no influence on its durability; he will only take up the practical part, or what might be vulgarly called the wire-pulling department. At the most he will only make some scientific digressions, necessary because certain effects cannot be properly understood unless their causes are known. This book, the fruit of thirty years of study and experience, is the most serious and honest work which has been written on the subject. At least the author thinks so; and he must say so, for should he through excess of modesty say anything else, he would not be believed.
