The monograph of the great painter not only tells a graphic story of the artist’s life, but describes the picturesque conditions under which he worked, the emperors, dukes and bishops who gave him commissions, forming a romantic background. The book gives the results of the most recent investigations of the authorship of disputed masterpieces, is copiously illustrated with fifty odd half-tones, has a fine bibliography, and a complete index.
