a hand book of the history of the spanish and french schools of painting

This book is the outgrowth of lectures given to classes of students, who, from lack of time and opportunity, were unable to undertake the study of the voluminous standard works which treat of the subject, and it -is hoped that it will meet the want of many other such students. All dates and other facts regarding painters and their pictures have been carefully studied and are believed to be authentic. ..
