Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Conversations in a Studio, Vol. 1 Belton. Did you read the account of the last sale of pictures and china at auction in Paris? Mallett. Yes; and it struck me that the prices which some of them brought were enormous. B. What struck me more than anything was, that the modem pictures brought such high prices. One expects the works of the old masters to bring large prices. Time itself has added value to them. They are comparatively rare, and every day they are diminished in number by accidents of every kind. There is a factitious value attached to them beyond their real and undoubted merit. They are sealed with the stamp of Fame. Centuries have gone by since they were painted. Generation after generation has praised and copied them; and one feels secure, in purchasing an undoubted original by Titian, Raffaelle, or any of the great masters, that, beyond the delight it will give, it is a safe investment. It is not very probable that the verdict of centuries will suddenly be reversed, and that they will lose the estimation in which they are held.
