Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Ancient and Modern Paintings and Other Objects of Art, Collected by the Late William M. Laffan: To Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale U connoisseur of pictures and porcelains. His knowledge wus profound and catholic, and he was naturally endowed With the sixth scnsc of the collector, an intuition which sccql him in the delicate task of selection and attribution. Hc gathered his art trcusurcs primarily to gratify his personal predilections, and not with the purpose of selling them. His instinctive tact and wide experience corned for him an intcr national reputation. Little wonder that his judgments wcrc sought for, tlcfcrrul to, and in the majority of cases were deemed final. His catholicity is proved by this present collection, which ranges from latter-day American painting's to Italian and Flemish primitives, from curly English por traiture to Italian Renaissance, from Dutch genre to modern French Impressionism. From Lucas Crnnach to Filippo Lippi. Mr. Lull'sn lovod a beautiful work of art for itself, whether Oriental or Occidental. Schools greatly interested him, but the prestige of a more name ncithcr prejudiced nor allured him. Though. Strictly spcaking, he was a conserva tive, he was not insensiblc to the manifestations of contem porary art. He was thoroughly aware of thc pitfalls that abound for the expert, and in making an attribution he was ever prudent and resourceful. He was intimately ac quainted with all the famous collections, public and private, both in America and Europe. His memory was remarkable, hie erudition not easily matched. He was truly an amateur of eclectic tastes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
