Selincourt, Basil de. Giotto. [*]$2. Scribner.
“The significance of Giotto’s affinities with both the schools into which painting in Italy branched off during his lifetime is very clearly brought out by Mr. de Selincourt, who recognizes in his pictures—a great number of which are here reproduced—the richness of imagination that distinguished the Florentines with the feeling for grace of form so characteristic of the Siennese.... The useful little monograph closes with what is, perhaps, the ablest section of the book, a very acute analysis of Giotto’s influence over others.”—Acad.
“It may ... be fairly claimed that his new biographer has made the best of the meagre materials at his disposal and has also succeeded in realising to some extent the personality of the gifted master.”
