Excerpt from Four Great Venetians: An Account of the Lives and Works of Giorgione Titian, Tintoretto, and IL Veronese Giotto, and the sculpture of Donatello are pene trated with an intense seriousness such as no Keltic race has ever given proof of, nor do we meet with its like in the art or literature of any other race, an cient or modern. It was this intensity of feeling, this deep-rooted spiritual earnestness, which formed the basis of Italian art, and through which alone it succeeded in rising to the most exalted heights. It is true that the more strongly Gallic communities Of northern Italy were quick to apprehend its value, adopted it, and assimilated themselves to it; so that Tuscan art flourished and became in a manner in digenous in their own fertile plains, just as the French of our time assimilate foreign ideas and in ventions more readily than other races. Correggio is the typical example of the Tuscan principle grafted upon a thoroughly Gallic nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
