Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of the Most Eminent Dutch Painters of the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 1 The advantages of a critical and descriptive catalogue of works of art need no discussion. It is generally agreed by experts that one cannot pass judgment on the work of an artist unless one knows his productions, and that ones judgment will gain in precision with the extent of one´s knowledge. Those paintings which have not found a permanent home in public collections tend more and more to be scattered over the wide world. For the individual student it becomes, therefore, a task of increasing difficulty to gain a complete knowledge of these works from personal inspection. Not only are pictures banished to California, South Africa, or Australia; they may also at a public sale pass through an intermediary into the hands of a recluse, so that for a generation or longer they may be hidden from the view of the amateur of art. The only method of preserving these vagrant pictures for the benefit of students is to reproduce them, or, as reproduction is in most cases impossible, to describe them. The English picture-dealer John Smith was the first to recognise this fact, or, rather, to carry out the idea in a practical way.
