Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Century of Painters of the English School, Vol. 1 of 2: With Critical Notices of Their Works, and an Account of the Progress of Art in England
The opinion is at last gaining ground that Art is no longer an alien on English soil; and the time appears to have arrived when some interest will be felt in a narrative of its progress among us. An artist may now without fear of presumption speak of The English School, a school rich in fine works, whose painters are remarkable for the national character, as well as for the individual originality, of their genius.
