Notes on Pictures in the Royal Collections: Collected and Edited for the Burlington Magazine (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Pictures in the Royal Collections: Collected and Edited for the Burlington Magazine
Royal collection were fairly well known to connoisseurs, and the two large volumes, which were executed and issued by the Fine Arts Publishing Company, Limited, at the wish of King Edward VII in 1905 - 6, contained for the most part a selection from the best - known pictures at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. There remained, however, a considerable number of paintings, chiefly those collected by h.r.h. The Prince Consort, which were practically unknown, and the interest of which, if of secondary importance from the highest point of artistic value, was not inconsiderable for students and connoisseurs. Per mission was therefore granted by the King to the Surveyor of Pictures and Works of Art to publish a series of notes on such pictures or works of art as might seem worthy of notice, and that these notes should appear in the Burlington Magazine. His Majesty King George V has been graciously pleased to continue the same privilege as that accorded by his illustrious father. These Notes have been extended to some of the less-known paintings at Hampton Court Palace and elsewhere, and sufficient interest has been shown by the readers of the Burlington Magazine to justify the directors of the Magazine in reissuing in a separate volume, as a first instalment, the notes which had appeared since the commence ment of the series in 1904. With the further gracious permission of h.m. The King the articles have therefore been collected and revised where necessary, and entrusted for publication to Messrs. Chatto and Windus, on behalf of the Burlington Magazine. The compiler's own notes have in many cases been but introductory to valuable contributions by some of the leading art-students in Europe.
