[EAN: 9780259568742], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Language: English . This book usually ship within 10-15 business days and we will endeavor to dispatch orders quicker than this where possible. Brand New Book. Excerpt from The National Gallery, Vol. 1 The arrangement of the pictures, which is strictly alphabetical, follows that of the Official Catalogue; the descriptions also are taken direct from the same source. They have been occasionally cut down where the page did not afford room for the whole text, and in some few cases they have been slightly amplified. An essential feature of the work is that the descriptions of the pictures invariably (with a single exception) face the illustrations on the opposite page, thus avoiding the careless and tiresome arrangement, only too common in works of this character, where the illustration is only to be found on a page far removed from the text which treats of it. The exception is on p. 8 5, where it was thought undesirable to so abbreviate the explanations of the four allegorical subjects by Paul Veronese as to bring in that of the fourth picture, which is accordingly relegated to the succeeding page. The exception will serve to indicate the care with which the whole work has been carried out. The arrangement of the illustrations was a matter of some difficulty; and it was not always found possible to avoid an awkward page, more particularly where pictures of different shapes are gathered together in the same group. The rule adopted for the scale of the illustrations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
