Reseña del editor:

Galleries of Europe especially those of I taly, aided by the study of some of the best works on Art The writer pretends not to technical knowledge. His purpose is that of the vast majority of the world ;to discover how far a painting, or a piece of sculpture, fulfils its end by striking and satisfying the imagination; whether a statue well embodies the idea attached to it ;whether a painting tells its story in a natural and eflfective manner; to judge, in short, of Artas of a poem, of whose merits the general public are allowed to be the supreme and final arbiters. The sculptor and pter, indeed, by appealing to the eye instead of the ear, use artificial methods, the skijl of which forms a separate head of criticism belonging properly to the professional artist. Such criticism, however, concerns more the subordinate kinds and qualities of A rt, than those higher merits which waken sympathy and stir the passions., which entrance by beauty.or elevate by grandeur. Even here, of course, the technical excelletices of art also contribute to the pleasure of the spectator.
