A Text-Book of the History of Painting
Van Dyke, John C.
Painting -- History
"A neatly published work, adapted to the use either of student or
general reader. As a text-book it is a concise and orderly setting
forth of the main principles of architecture followed by the different
schools. The life history of each period is brief yet thorough.... The
treatment is broad and not over-critical. The chief facts are so
grouped that the student can easily grasp them. The plan-drawings are
clear cut and serve their purpose admirably. The half-tone
illustrations are modern in selection and treatment. The style is
clear, easy and pleasing. The entire production shows a studious and
orderly mind. A new and pleasing characteristic is the absence of all
discussion on disputed points. In its unity, clearness and simplicity
lie its charm and interest."--NOTRE DAME SCHOLASTIC, NOTRE DAME, IND.
"This is a very thorough and compendious history of the art of
architecture from the earliest times down to the present.... The work
is elaborately illustrated with a great host of examples, pictures,
diagrams, etc. It is intended to be used as a school text-book, and is
very conveniently arranged for this purpose, with suitable headings in
bold-faced type, and a copious index. Teachers and students will find
it a capital thing for the purpose."--PICAYUNE, NEW ORLEANS.

"Like the other works in this series of yours, it is simply
invaluable, filling a long-felt want. The bibliographies and lists
will be keenly appreciated by all who work with a class of students."
CHARLES H. MOORE, _Harvard University_.
"The illustrations are especially good, avoiding the excessively black
background which produce harsh contrasts and injure the outlines of so
many half-tone prints."
J. M. HOPPIN, _Yale University_.
"These names are sufficient guarantee for the excellence of the book
and its fitness for the object it was designed for. I was especially
interested in the chapter on _Renaissance Sculpture in Italy_."
CRITIC, _New York_.
"This history is a model of condensation.... Each period is treated in
full, with descriptions of its general characteristics and its
individual developments under various conditions, physical, political,
religious and the like.... A general history of sculpture has never
before been written in English--never in any language in convenient
text-book form. This publication, then, should meet with an
enthusiastic reception among students and amateurs of art, not so
much, however, because it is the only book of its kind, as for its
intrinsic merit and attractive form."
OUTLOOK, _New York_.
