Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life-Work of George Frederick Watts
With a proper sense of the dignity of his work he has allowed to his art the rare privilege of public utterance, as a prophet is bound to do even at his own cost. So that when his life is looked at as a whole it has an aspect of public duty honourably discharged - as of a man bearing a burden of spiritual truth with austere self-devotion - an aspect which separates his life from many who, in other respects, might be considered his equals, and entitles him to be ranked with other great idealists who have contended for their ideals to the uttermost.
