A Popular Handbook to the National Gallery, Volume I, Foreign Schools

A Popular Handbook to the National Gallery, Volume I, Foreign Schools - Including by Special Permission Notes Collected from the Works of John Ruskin

The pictures in the National Gallery are hung methodically, so far as the wall-space and other circumstances will admit, in order to illustrate the different schools of painting, and to facilitate their historical study. Introductions to the several Foreign Schools of Painting, thus arranged, will be found in the following pages together with references to many of the chief painters in each school who are represented in the Gallery. Introductory remarks on the British School and British Painters will be found in Volume II. At the present time (May 1912) the arrangement of the Gallery is in a transitional state, as some of the Rooms are still in process of reconstruction or rearrangement. When this work is finished, the arrangement of the whole Gallery will, it is expected, be as shown below: Archaic Greek Portraits: North Vestibule. Italian Schools: Early Tuscan: North Vestibule. Florentine and Sienese: Rooms I., II., V. [Pg xxvi]Florentine (later): Room III. Milanese: Room IV. Umbrian: Room VI. Venetian: Room VII. Venetian (later): Room IX. Paduan: Room VIII.
