About the book >.>.> Even to-day, when the adventure of life is coloured by the remembrance of recent national trial and danger, the artist lives a comparatively secluded existence, and his excitements are more mental and emotional than physical. The reason is to be sought, not so much in the changed circumstances of his outward life, as in his inner and psychical attitude towards art. The Renaissance artist might be, and often was, painter, goldsmith, architect, engineer, poet, and soldier. He was interested in every aspect of the life around him, and he expressed that interest in terms of art in a variety of ways. He was a citizen of the world who happened to be an artist. The material lay in ample measure ready to his hand, demanding interpretation and expression. A new scholarship opened to him the gates of the past; the thoughts, the legends, the mythology, the history, of ancient and cultured peoples. The times in which he lived presented to him military glory, political development, and state and civie.
