A Study of the Work and Personality of the Eighteenth Century
Spanish Painter and Satirist
By HUGH STOKES
_8^o. With 48 Full-page Illustrations. $3.75 net_
Francisco Goya y Lucientes ranks with the great masters of modern
painting. As a satirist he may be termed the Spanish Hogarth; his
portraits recall the best period of the eighteenth century,
whilst in his designs for tapestry he frankly emulated the light
grace of the French craftsmen. Yet he could treat sterner
subjects in a severer style. His large canvases, dealing in a
realistic and dreadful fashion with the horrors of the French
war, prove that he was artistically the precursor of Manet. His
etchings are superb. Goya's life was as full of incident as that
of Benvenuto Cellini. Although a Court painter he was a fervent
Republican. At last, sick of Bourbon misrule, he fled to France,
and died in Bordeaux, April 16, 1828, at the advanced age of
eighty-two.
The Science of Happiness
By JEAN FINOT
Author of "Problems of the Sexes," etc.
Translated from the French by Mary J. Safford
_8^o. $1.75 net_
The author considers the nature of happiness and the means of its
attainment, as well as many allied questions.
"Amid the noisy tumult of life, amid the dissonance that divides
man from man," remarks M. Finot, "the Science of Happiness tries
to discover the divine link which binds humanity to happiness
through the soul and through the union of souls."
Knowledge and Life
By RUDOLF EUCKEN
Author of "The Truth of Religion," "The Life of the
Spirit," etc.
_$1.59 net. By mail, $1.65_
Professor Eucken's plea in this new volume of the Crown
Theological Library is that the only knowledge which may be
termed genuine springs from the demands and aspirations of man's
own deepest life.
The book forms an excellent epitome of the author's views
concerning the need of a Metaphysic of Life.
