Book Description
Excerpt from Reviews and Appreciations of Some Old Italian Masters I do not flatter myself that many English readers have hunted through the back pages of the Gazette des Beaux Arts for my account of the Leonardo Cartoon in the Diploma Gallery at Burlington House indeed what I published fifteen years ago is probably quite unknown to them. But as it still remains the only serious attempt to deal fully with one of England's greatest art treasures, I feel that an English appreciation may be welcome. And in view of the ever-increasing interest taken in Leonardo da Vinci I have thought well to reprint other and more recent articles about him that have appeared in the pages of.
