A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Continent. Descriptions and particulars of these have hitherto only been available in the various official catalogues, or in innumerable separate volumes in art libraries; and the attempt is here made for the first time to print in a single volume as many as are likely to be of use or of interest to the public at large. The selection for this purpose of less than a thousand pictures, out of so many thousands, is of course open to criticism, both for inclusions and exclusions. But for the general public one must make some reasonable allowances, while for the critic there are still the catalogues and the innumerable separate volumes on the shelves. The aim of the descriptions has been to enable the reader to visualise the picture whether he has seen it or whether he has not rather than merely to identify it. The following points will perhaps assist him: i. The first thing is the size of the picture: without first knowing this the reader can form no idea in his mind of the general character of the work. This is therefore given after the title, the height always first and the breadth second, so that a mere glance at the figures will tell whether the picture is large or small, upright or oblong; in a few cases where the breadth greatly exceeds the height, the work is stated at the outset to be an oblong. With a very few exceptions the size is given in metres. Roughly, a metre is 3ft. 3in. and it is only a rough idea that is needed and 0-50 is i ft. 8in., and so on.
