📙 Excerpt from A Handbook of Pictorial Art
As has been said often enough, this book is an attempt at a readable introduction to the study of Art, beginning with Landscape, as the branch most likely to be pursued in this country from free choice and affection for the subject. There is no reason for insisting on any other principle for the pursuit Of Art, as the commercial motives are sure to be fully under stood and appreciated.
Without comment on the prevailing taste for French land scape, it may be said that the English Realist and Naturalist School will develope the powers and reward the efforts of any faithful student; and that if such a person desires to proceed from landscape to historical painting, the present work will help him as far as it goes.
