Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of the History of Art, Vol. 1 of 2
Dr. Lubke's grundriss der kunstgeschichte was first pub lished in 1860. The eleventh edition was published in 1 891, and was really a revised edition; but it was still the old book, containing many of the characteristics of the original issue. Since 1891 much has been added to the scholar's knowledge of archaology and to the critic's perception of artistic truth; but, since 1 860, the whole point of View has changed. The history of art which is possible to-day was unthinkable in 1860; many assumptions have been proved untrue; many known facts have wholly different explana tions now, from those once thought sufficient. The amount of added fact is incredibly great and important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
