This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ... itself not only in the invention and disposition of the figures, but in the infinitely subtle shades of form which escape the attention of a copyist. A very just distinction has been drawn between living lines and FIG. 273.--ADAM AND EVE. JACOPO DELLA QUERCIA. (Church of San Petronio, Bologna.) surfaces, and dead lines and surfaces. Only the first have what a contemporary critic, Mr. Berenson, calls tactile values, that is to say, the almost imperceptible quiver of life, the effect of which on the eye is analogous to that of living flesh against the finger-tips. An artist of genius has the faculty of infusing life into each sinuosity of contour, each square inch of surface. In a work of art the presence of dead lines and surfaces, that is to say, of flat or rounded surfaces, insignificant and void of expression, suffices to show that it is either a copy, or the work of a mediocre artist. In this connection there is nothing more instructive than such a comparison as may be made in the Louvre between one of Michelangelo's Slaves, in which every inch of the marble seems to vibrate, and a statue of Canova's 274.--THE MADONNA WITH TWO SAINTS. LUCA DELLA ROBBIA. (Cathedral, Prato.) FIG. 277.--TOMB OF CARDINALS SFORZA AND DELLA ROVERE. ANDREA SANSOVINO or Pradier's, where the grace of the general effect, that is to say, of the silhouette, does not atone for the coldness of the modelling, the facile and flaccid execution. The ancients were well aware that this faint quiver of life is the supreme quality of a masterpiece: spirantia mollius aera, said Virgil. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHAPTER XV. Work by X. Kraus, given p. 104.--L. Courajod, Lecons professees a l'EcoU du Louvre, vol. ii.. Paris. 1901 (the origin of the Renaissance; cf. Gazette des Beaux-Arts, 1888, i., p...
