Side 36 - As for the various departments of painting, which do not presume to make such high pretensions, they are many. None of them are without their merit, though none enter into competition with this universal presiding idea of the art.
Side 36 - ... the expression of those passions, as they appear in general and more enlarged nature. This principle may be applied to the Battle-pieces of Bourgognone, the French Gallantries of Watteau, and even beyond the exhibition of animal life, to the Landscapes of Claude Lorraine, and the Sea- Views of Vandervelde.
Side 9 - ... for black and white ; who being very poor, and belike wanting to buy fairer colours, wrought therefore for the most part in white and black ; and growing yet poorer by charge of children, &c. gave painting clean over : but being a very fair-conditioned, zealous, and godly person...
Side 95 - Angelo, men of acknowledged great abilities, should never have thought of transferring a little of that grandeur of outline which they could not but see and admire in Ancient Sculpture, into their own works; but they appear to have considered Sculpture as the later Schools of Artists look at...

In a country where native energy is most abundant, we ask...

Side 24 - Elzheimcr, resembled the last most in his fate, lived and died nearer to indigence than ease ; and as an asylum from the severest wants incident to age and decay of powers, was reduced to solicit the Librarian's place in the Academy, of which he was one of the brightest ornaments.
Side 36 - The painters who have applied themselves more particularly to low and vulgar characters, and who express with precision the various shades of passion, as they are exhibited by vulgar minds (such as we see in the works of Hogarth) deserve great praise; but as their genius has been employed on low and confined subjects, the praise that we give must be as limited as its object.
