The late Director of the National Gallery here gives an explanation of the history, meaning and growth of Italian painting, with a special eye to the needs of those who have not yet visited the country, and to whom therefore the relation and character of the different “schools” of Italian painting may not always be quite clear. The book will enable those who propose to visit collections, such as the great Loan Exhibition of Italian Art at Burlington House, to make the best use of their time. It should also be invaluable to teachers who wish to introduce the subject as part of an Educational Course in schools and art classes. 32 Illustrations 10/6 NET CASSELL’S Ready December 19. ---
