Excerpt from The North British Review, Vol. 8
Ganges, the Indus, and the Brahmaputra, from the central peaks of Himalaya. It is true, that the characters of these schools (i allude especially to the Giottesque and Sienese) are different - that, while the Giottesque is dramatic chiefly, the expression of that activity of the imagination which produced the Gothic architecture, the Sienese, including the later but kindred school of Umbria, is contemplative, the expression of its repose sympathetic with the East, and previously developed in Lombard architecture. Nevertheless both, as schools, originate from Niccola Pisano - neither could have started on its career without the impulse he gave to the dramatic by his historical compositions, to the contemplative by his Madonna at Bologna, and by the individual heads and figures scattered among his works - to both by that master-principle of Christian art which he had thought out and revealed, and within which, in fact, they both lay compre hended like heaven and earth within Bramah's egg.
