Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Children of Good Fortune: An Essay in Morals There are two galleries in Europe which possess a charm at once abiding and unique. One of these is the room of the portrait busts in the Capitoline Museum at Rome; the other is the gallery of artist-portraits on the first floor of the Uffizi at Florence. Id all these detained faces, - the marble faces of Roman emperors and philosophers, the painted faces of the master artists of Europe, - it is possible to remark some characteristic that is modern and contemporaneous. Each face suggests a human quality still current. Each separate feature bespeaks a possibility in the neighbor or even in the self. It is not the technique that interests the layman, - marvelous as the technique is, - it is this abiding human nature.
