Famous paintings as seen and described by famous writers / edited and translated by Esther Singleton
An anthology of art criticism edited and translated by Esther Singleton, published by Dodd, Mead in New York in 1909 for general readers and amateur students of painting, with a binding designed by Alice C. Morse. The plates are halftone reproductions of European paintings from the Renaissance through the Baroque, mostly religious and mythological scenes with heavy tonal contrast; useful for figure groupings, drapery, cherubs, and grainy monochrome texture.
