AND

CHARLES C. PERKINS, Corresponding Member of the French Institute.

A Full Biographical Dictionary of the Painters of all Times and Schools. A CYCLOPÆDIA OF THE GREAT PICTURES OF THE WORLD,

Containing special Articles on all famous Paintings under their own names.

A GUIDE TO THE ENTIRE LITERATURE OF ART THROUGH ITS LISTS OF AUTHORITIES UPON EACH TOPIC

A SUPERB COLLECTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS OF ITS SUBJECT.

THEA

HE CYCLOPÆDIA OF PAINTERS AND PAINTINGS is not only a fuller biographical dictionary than now exists of the painters of all times and schools, including prominent contemporaries, but it is as well a dictionary of works; and in a form in which the one branch of information is as immediately accessible as the other. The important paintings of all periods are treated under their own names, in separate articles, in which are given accurate descriptions of each work, its date, its place of preservation, its history from the time of leaving the painter's easel, notices of its replicas and copies, the names of its engravers, and such other facts as make the account as nearly as possible exhaustive.

The time is propitious for the appearance of such a work...
