Publisher's Synopsis
""Letters on the Fine Arts, Written from Paris in the Year 1815"" is a collection of letters written by Henry Milton, an Englishman living in Paris during the post-Napoleonic era. The letters are addressed to a friend back in England and cover a wide range of topics related to the arts, including painting, sculpture, architecture, and music. Milton is a keen observer of the art scene in Paris and provides detailed descriptions of the works he sees in galleries and museums, as well as the artists themselves. He also offers his own opinions on the quality and significance of the art, often comparing it to the art of his native England. In addition to his commentary on the arts, Milton also provides insights into the social and political climate of Paris during this time, including the aftermath of the French Revolution and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. Overall, ""Letters on the Fine Arts"" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of art and culture in early 19th century Paris, as seen through the eyes of an astute and knowledgeable observer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
