Modern paintings as seen and described by great writers
An anthology compiled and edited by Esther Singleton, published by Dodd, Mead in New York in 1911, gathering critics' and writers' descriptions of nineteenth-century European paintings for general American readers. The plates are halftone reproductions of works by Millet, Corot, Turner, and Courbet, with captioned titles and artist names, offering soft-grained tonal landscapes, peasant figures, and hazy harbor scenes.
