Historical Sketches of the Old Painters

[Lee, Hannah Farnham Sawyer]

Boston: Hilliard, Gray, Little, and Wilkins, 1841. Small Octavo. Item #011802

A new ediiton, enlarged. 350p. After dealing with painters of the Italian Renaissance, the author moves to Northern Europe and several more modern painters (Poussin, Rosa). Her works reveal a great deal about US perceptions of art history in the early 19th century. Her works were very influential but this was her most important. Very Good.
