Excerpt from Practical Hints on Painting, Composition, Landscape, and Etching
Ghilberti cast the gates of the Baptistery, and such great men in art as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Sanzio, and Michael Angelo Buonarotti created their immortal works, and were followed by Titian, Tintoretto, and Paolo Veronese and others, themselves the outcome of a long-existing school. This period led to the artistic development of which the modern school of figure-designers have inherited the ideas and principles. Without tracing the eventual transition to later periods at all closely, it will suffice to say, Art eventually became conventionalised, and died out in Italy.
In France, without going farther back than Poussin, we see a school based on classical tradition; and this may still be said to exist. His influence followed later by that of Watteau, and then again by the classical talent of Ingres (to name only a few masters), was followed by J. F. Millet and Corot, showing genius under different manifestations. What has happened since?
Men acknowledging no school, such as Manet and Monet, appear, the former with unerring knowledge painting his picture 'direct from life,' and the latter his original "Impressions" of Nature; and another, Degas, building his 'new' view of the figure on classical lines. We also find in Flanders, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands, schools of painting in which one man, achieving perfection, passes away and gives place to another; but in England, except for the efforts of Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723) and Hogarth, no one before their time ever tried to make or found one. It is true that a certain decided although superficial art movement was at times created; but it was by no means the result of native-born talent.
From the fifteenth century onwards a long succession of painters came at the invitation of various kings and nobles, and lived and worked here, but till the end of the eighteenth century no artists, except those mentioned, stood forth independent of foreign influence.
