Century of British Painters (Landmarks in Art History) - Softcover
In the 1860s, the brothers Richard and Samuel Redgrave sat down to write the book that was, in effect, the first popular account of British painting. With remarkable industry, they examined and sifted through the earlier studies and documentary sources while also contributing a great deal of firsthand knowledge. Many of the artists of the time were personal friends or acquaintances, and Richard Redgrave was a member of the Royal Academy.

Review:
In a sense, it is an English Vasari―part anecdote, part history."―The New Yorker (reviewing the 1947 edition)
"This book is a classic, and there is every reason why it should be, since it is highly readable today and was a landmark in 1866."―The Spectator (reviewing the 1947 edition)
