First sentence: THE THEME I HAVE THE HONOR OF presenting to you today, the Entry of the Idealising Classical Style in the Painting of the Early Renaissance, demands such a broad treatment, that an attempt to cover such a central question in the history of style in the space of a single lecture can only be justified by imposing a strict limitation on its intellectual, material and chronological scope.
