NEW WORK ON PAINTING.
Just ready, in small 8vo, with Frontispiece and Vignette,
PAINTING POPULARLY EXPLAINED;
WITH
The Practice of the Art,
AND
HISTORICAL NOTICES OF ITS PROGRESS.
BY
THOMAS J. GULLICK, Painter,
AND
JOHN TIMBS, F.S.A.
The plan of this work is thus sketched in the Introduction:
“There have been in the history of Art, four grand styles of imitating Nature—Tempera, Encaustic, Fresco, and Oil. These, together with the minor modes of Painting, we propose arranging in something like chronological sequence; but our design being to offer an explanation of the Art derived from practical acquaintance, rather than attempt to give its history, we shall confine ourselves for the most part to so much only of the History of Painting as is necessary to elucidate the origin of the different practices which have obtained at different periods.”
By this means, the Authors hope to produce a work which may be valuable to the Amateur, and interesting to the Connoisseur, the Artist, and the General Reader.
