Excerpt from Famous Paintings as Seen and Described by Famous Writers In making a second collection of masterpieces of paintings that have given pleasure and afforded inspiration to many generations of mankind, I have endeavoured to represent several great painters who did not appear in my former volume, of which this is, in some measure, a continuation. Crivelli, Luini, Giorgione, Moroni, Landseer, Mantegna and Perugino are among those who were left out of Great Pictures for lack of space. Even now, looking at the two volumes together, many favourite pictures will be missed; but it must be remembered how impossible it is to include within the limits of two small books every work that justly holds a firm place in the affections of all who love and reverence great art. The pictures in this series are not only paintings with great reputations, but each one is a painting of the very first rank. Many of them have peculiar charms of originality; for instance, Carpaccio's Due Cortigiane Veneziane which Ruskin considers one of the best pictures in the world, is unique, and it is perhaps, one of the earliest paintings in which animals and human figures apparently receive the same enthusiastic attention from the artist.
