Overview

Excerpt from Pisanello Louvre. Of owners of private collections, I am under many obligations to Messrs. Bonnat, Dreyfus, Rosenheim, Salting and Valton. Finally, the footnotes give some, though not an adequate, indication of my indebtedness to that indefatigable collector of material for the history of art, Signor Adolfo Venturi, in whose edition of Vasari's Gentile da Fabriano and Pisanello is laid the foundation of all study of these artists for many a year to come. As regards the illustrations of the medals, the majority all of those by Pisanello and Pasti) have been made of the actual size of the original and, according to the practice which experience shows to give the best result, from plaster casts. Several of these have been kindly supplied by M. Valton, from his collection of casts, and in some of these cases it is difficult to trace the present owner of the original. Otherwise the collection to which the actual specimen illustrated belongs has as a rule been stated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
