Description
Excerpt from The Laws of Fésole, Vol. 1: A Familiar Treatise on the Elementary Principles and Practice of Drawing and Painting, as Determined by the Tuscan Masters
The publication of this book has been delayed by what seemed to me vexatious accident, or (on my own part) unaccountable slowness in work but the delay thus enforced has enabled me to bring the whole into a form which I do not think there will be any reason afterwards to modify in any important particular, containing a system of instruction in art generally applicable in the education of gentlemen; and securely elementary in that of professional artists. It has been made as simple as I can in expression, and is specially addressed, in the main teaching of it, to young people, (extending the range of that term to include students in our universities;) and it will be so addressed to them.
