Synopsis
Excerpt from A Critical and Commercial Dictionary of the Works of Painters: Comprising Eight Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty Sale Notes of Pictures and Nine Hundred and Eighty Original Notes on the Subjects and Styles of Various Artists Who Have Painted in the Schools of Europe Between the Years 1250 and 1850
The prices lately given by the Trustees of our National Gallery for the works of certain masters, as well as the enormous sums which are now realised in the Paris picture mart for fine examples of Greuze and other eminent French painters, must all be kept in view by the picture speculator. The reader will find further allusion to this subject in the note on Murillo in this work. The writer has appended Descriptive Notes on the subjects and styles of all the principal masters introduced in the work, as well as Notes on a considerable number of rare painters whose names have not appeared in former dictionaries.
