Painting, Spanish and French (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Painting, Spanish and French<br><br>The present volume completes the series of brief histories of painting in the Illustrated Hand-books of Art Education. They include an account of painting in Egypt, and the classic works of Ancient Greece; the Renaissance and various Schools of Art in Italy; and the Schools of Spain and France: and on the Teutonic side, the early Flemish, the early German, Dutch, and later Flemish Schools; a comprehensive view of painting in England from the fifteenth century to the present time, and a chapter on American art. All are as fully illustrated as the size of the volumes will admit.<br><br>Should a treatise on modern artists be added to the series, it must include an account of the now celebrated painters of Russia, Hungary, Austria, and Scandinavia. The progress of art throughout Europe and the United States of America is increasing so greatly both in quantity and excellence, that the chronicler of art in the last quarter of the nineteenth century will undoubtedly have to provide for a book of many pages.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
