Overview

Excerpt from Outlines for the Study of Art, Vol. 1 Not long ago the writer stood with a company Of others in the sacristy of the Duomo, in Florence, in the presence of a little angel once reverently attributed to Donatello, one of the loveliest creations of Florentine art. The silent eloquence Of that pure face needed no explanation, no translation into the halting language of words. Art was here at its simplest and its best. The party gazed rapt, enjoying one of those rare mo ments which compensate for the waiting and the work Of existence. But there was one who did not look at the angel. She was trying to locate it in her guide book. And as the few moments of contemplation were ended and the group moved on, she was heard to inquire: What did he say it was? I could not find it in the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
