Excerpt from The Art of the Vatican: Being a Brief History of the Palace, and an Account of the Principal Art Treasures Within Its Walls The same reasoning applies to the actual paintings and sculptures described in each gallery or chapel. It has been thought better to devote as much considera tion as possible to the most noted of the works rather than to speak more briefly of many. In this way it is hoped that the book may be valuable both for travellers, who wish to have something more than mere guide-book information of the great treasures of Rome, and for the amateur who has not sufficient time or desire to consult the many original works necessary for a thorough art training.
