A GREAT NEW ART SERIES MASTERPIECES IN COLOUR The First Series at a Popular Price to reproduce the Treasures of Art in THEIR FULL COLOURS Each volume is written by a competent authority, who deals in a popular style with the artist's life and work.

Volumes in active preparation include, amongst others, Leighton, Watts, Carlo Dolci, Titian, Tintoretto, Luini, Holman Hunt, and Raphael. This series marks quite a new departure. The half-tone block so familiar in books dealing with artists here gives place for the first time to reproductions in full colours. Many great pictures familiar as black-and-white reproductions are absolutely unknown in the “divine gift of colour,” and in this series many a delightful surprise is in store for the art lover. > The day cannot be far off when nobody will think of reproducing a painter’s work without strict attention to its colour, and in coming forward with the present experiment the publishers claim to have opened up a new field, for low-priced books have not had colour pictures, and the books that have had colour pictures have not been low-priced.—EXTRACT FROM PROSPECTUS. Each volume (size 8 by 6) contains the Monograph and eight Pictures printed by a new colour process, which gives results of marvellous fidelity.

LIFE AND WORKS OF VITTORIO CARPACCIO, By POMPEO MOLMENTI and the late GUSTAV LUDWIG. Translated by R. H. HOBART CUST, Author of "Giovanni Antonio Bazzi." With numerous Illustrations in Photogravure and Half-tone. Small Folio. £2 12s. 6d. net. THE PRESENTATION OF THE VIRGIN. (Reduced Illustration.) To the student of art and to the tourist alike the name of Carpaccio conjures up visions of pomp and splendour; the legends of martyr and saint told with all the lavish display of colour and detail so characteristic of Venice, the Queen of the Adriatic, combined with a naivete of expression that irresistibly arrests and holds the spectator's attention. A great debt of gratitude is therefore due to the late Professor Gustav Ludwig, ably seconded by his friend Professor Pompeo Molmenti, for contributing to the art literature of the world so complete a picture of this delightful painter. A pathetic touch is added by Professor Molmenti in an affectionate tribute to his deceased friend and coadjutor, who did not live to receive the well-merited reward of his labours.
