A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Life of Holbein because I feel that we have not as yet materials sufficient to justify such a title. Neither does it constitute aC atalogue Raisonne of the painters works, real or reputed :such an undertaking presents two difficulties of some magnitude; it would involve an amount of physical work that is not only beyond my means and opportunities, but is in itself a compilation requiring too much of the mechanical system and patience of an appraiser not to be repulsive to a literary or historical taste :as all the pretended works, as well as the real, demand an examination, if not a notice, if one is to speak with any authority or absolute decision as to quantity as well as quality. I have endeavoured only to give an adequate conception of Holbein scareer and qualities as an artist, by a succinct relation of all the known biographical events of his life, and by a detailed and chronological review, as far as possible, of all his characteristic or capital works.
