About this book
The preface presents a selection of writings on art extending over twenty years, with some essays not previously published in England, substantial new matter, and slight corrections made throughout the collection. The discussion of impressionism describes a movement towards increasingly exact representation of appearances, and questions the assumption that fidelity to appearance measures art.
The account of a new artistic movement identifies its criteria as aesthetic rather than conformity to appearance, with structural design and harmony given renewed importance. The discussion of altar paintings identifies panels for the high altar of S. Peter’s, painted for Cardinal Stefaneschi and preserved in the sacristy.
