Excerpt from Vigée le Brun: Huit Reproductions Facsimile en Couleurs
En moins de quarante ans s'est accomplie une véritable révolution pédagogique. L'université française, prise de repentir, a rendu à l'art et aux artistes la place qu'elle leur avait si longtemps refusée. Les livres savants surabondent. Ce qui vaut mieux encore, les procédés de reproduction rendent les chefs d'oeuvre de l'art familiers à tous. La moindre boutique de cartes postales verse à flots la science et le goût du beau. L'initiation esthétique, jadis interdite, a cessé même d'être une élégance; on parle à. L'école primaire de Botticelli.
