Next / should advise you to rea(
carefully Mrs. Jameson's little work
on the early Italian painters. You
will find among them a host of LESSEE
lights, which you perhaps had better
pass. Look up all those given in thu
list and pause long enough to gain ;
pretty correct idea of the character
istics of each-only, don't go off int
ecstasies as the author does, or you
will be woefully shocked when you
come to read Ruskin. Next, by rights
| think, you ought to lay aside a sun
sufficient to purchase small photo
graphs of some of these great paint
ings to which your book alludes,
portfolio filled with such treasure
would form an elegant addition t,
your parlor. Large heliotype engrav
ings of many of the most famous pic
lures cost only 81 apiece. You Cal
order either of any great publishing
house. When you have finished tn
work in hand you will probably b
filled with enthusiasm, and "adoratiol
of the old" This is well-we mus
love the child If we would revere tn
man. But you have yet to learn tina
the world, and art with it, have ad
vanced. BE on your guard, however
for the second time lest, on the othe
hand. you be drawn to Overrate tn
new.
You might have read Ruskin's Mod
ern Painters first, as did, but / thinl
it better plan to take it up afte
Italian Painters. The work is larg
one,-Of five ponderous volumes. Yol
had better take this from a library, a
it would be very expensive to buy
and it is the least bit out of date
Whether or no, at first you understan
the drift Of the author, you can scare
fail to be captiyated by the wonderful
beauty of his language.
The first object of the book is dc
fence of Turner, after that of all mod
ern artists. That is, an assertion o
their right to be criticised, fayorabl
or unfayorably, upon their own merit
without any comparison betwee
them and ancient models. So, as yo
read on, you will see that of all Mr.:
Jameson's idols, only few absolutel
escape censure, Fra Angelica, Mas
saccio, Titan, Raphael. Tintoretto an
Paul Veronese faring about the best.
/ would say to you now, look u
every name to which an allusion j
made, and if possible, procure at leas
one picture of each. ! can give 20
now some of the older painters belong
ling to other countries than Italy.
