About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...more particularly the class under consideration, it may be proper to state that the painter of pure history does not, like the dramatic painter, represent that which might be, but that which was or is." Fuseli, in his third " Lecture on Painting" gives a still clearer description of historic art: "Fiction now ceases, and invention consists only in selecting and fixing with dignity, precision, and sentiment the movementsof reality. Suppose that the artist choose the death of Germanicus, --he is not to give us the highest images of general grief which impress the features of a people or a family at the death of a beloved chief or father, for this would be epic imagery; we should have Achilles, Hector, Niobe. He is not to mix up character which observation and comparison have pointed out to him as the fittest to excite the gradations of sympathy; not Admetus and Alceste, not Meleager and Atalanta; for this would be the drama. He is to give us the idea of a Roman dying amidst Romans, as tradition gave him, with all the real modifications of time and place which may serve unequivocally to discriminate that moment of grief from all others." From what has been said, it will be evident that to distinguish historic from dramatic painting is in some cases extremely difficult. Nor can it be done at all except by first deciding what is the predominating motive that the picture exhibits. When we look, for instance, at some of the products of the Dutch School, at a picture, say, of Teniers, or at some of the work of a painter like J. F. Millet (Fig. 5, page 6l, and Fig. 7, pagecji), we find much that suggests the dramatic. But when we seek for the predominating motive of the artist, we recognise that it must have been to picture the life of the peasant...
