Excerpt from Outlines of the History of Painting: From 1200 1900 A. D

Since lack of perspective often prevents students from reaping the benefit of their exertions, the author has endeavored to present here an arrangement which will assist them in obtaining a comprehensive View of the whole field of painting.

The task of grouping and grading all the artists was one of such responsibility that the author submitted the proof sheets to various men, and arranged that each table should pass through the hands of at least one art critic, one executing artist, one art historian, and one director of an art school. He also availed himself of the kind services of specialists in preparing the pronouncing vocabulary of foreign names.

In explanation of the general plan of the book the following points deserve mention.

I. Artists are listed by their family names unless they are generally known by other names. In such cases the List Of Artists contains cross references.
