[QUOTE="blooey, post: 1328391, member: 12007"]I have a copy of Bryan's which apparently your edition is designed as a supplement to ... Modern scholarship may have updated some of the information in these older texts, but I love the connoisseur's approach these things have - for instance, my Bryan's reflects the opinions of the day and terminology that was in common use among the students of art history ..one particular thing springs to mind ..at the time, Reni was thought to be the last word in portraiture and all other portraitists were graded against the Reni yardstick. Reni is hardly ever mentioned by that moniker, however ...always referred to as "The Guido" Just love that kind of writing![/QUOTE]
