A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is rendered necessary becaiiS ethe subject of the work has occupied the attention of many authors of far greater ability and experience than that of which the present writer can boast. The extent, then, to which this essay is original is as follows: The facts of Giotto slife have been taken from Vasari sL ives of the Painters and compared with those given by all later writers on the same subject. As these later authors are mentioned throughout the book, wherever their opinions are quoted, I need not give a list of them here. The descriptions of the pictures and sculptures of Giotto are, in all cases, written by myself after careful study of the originals. In no case whatever is an opinion expressed upon the merit or meaning of a work which I have not personally examined ;this applies to all pictures and statues mentioned in the essay as well as to those of Giotto. The descriptions of Padua, A ssisi, andF lorence were written on the spot, and the vignettes of the two former towns are reduced from sketches made by myself on purpose for the present work.
