Excerpt from A Hand-Book of the History of the Spanish and French Schools of Painting: Intended as a Sequel to "Kugler's Hand-Books of the Italian, German, and Dutch Schools of Painting"On this point I wish the reader to remember, that I have no acquaintance with the school of Valencia, except so far as its productions may be seen at Madrid. The schools of Madrid and Seville I have had opportunities of studying and appreciating. The notices of the school of Aragon, contained in the following pages, are taken from the l0th volume of Minai'io's Topographical Dictionary Of Spain, where they are printed from a ms. Of Cean Ber mudez. In their Spanish shape, therefore, they are not readily accessible to the English reader, and I believe I may say that, short as the account of Spanish painting given in this Hand-book is, it is the most complete which has appeared in England up to the present time. I am happy to hear that Mr. Stirling of Keir has completed a work of a far more elaborate character, which would make it im possible for me to assert the same thing if I were writing a few months hence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
