Excerpt from The Art of the Venice Academy: Containing a Brief History of the Building and of Its Collection of Paintings, as Well as Descriptions and Criticisms of Many of the Principal Pictures and Their Artists It is easily seen, therefore, that to keep any kind of. Historic or artistic sequence, the paintings should be considered quite irrespective of the rooms they occupy. Since this book, however, is intended to be Of actual service in the gallery, it has seemed better, if with some loss of accuracy and definite ness, to treat each room as a unit in itself. Even then there is chance for question as to the order in which the rooms shall be considered. As the work is neither a catalogue. Nor, strictly speaking, a guide-book, the writer has chosen the present order, as giving, on the whole, the best opportunity for some sort of a comprehensive view Of the Venetian painting Of the Renaissance.
