Excerpt from The Art of the Great Masters, as Exemplified by Drawings, in the Collection of Emile, Wauters, Membre De L'académie Royale De BelgiqueBut it is not every collection, by any means, which lends itself to this instructive reading of the history of art. Though it is quite true that every sketch by a master, however slight it may be, is a thing to be treasured, many collections of old drawings throw little light on the personality and methods of the artists represented there. It is rare, indeed, to find one so rich in works of biographical and historical interest as that containing the original sketches for the many celebrated pictures I have mentioned above.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
