Excerpt from Mural Painting in the Boston Public LibraryThe great seats of mural painting in Europe have thus been epoch-making in her art history. They have done honor to their localities and to their native geniuses. Florence, Venice, Assisi these have ever been, and are still, mines for the artist's thoughtful exploration, centres of pilgrimage to the travelling public, heirs to endless returns of ancestral capital invested in their civic and religious art.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
