Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Our Lord, Vol. 1 of 2: As Exemplified in Works of Art; With That of His Type; St. John the Baptist; And Other Persons of the Old and New Testamant The volumes now before the reader - ´The History of Our Lord, as Exemplified in Works of Art´ - were reserved by the late Mrs. Jameson as the more important section, as well as the natural completion, of the series already contributed by her to the literature of Christian Art. This Work, of which she had written a portion, was cut short by her death in the spring of 1860. I was requested by her publisher and by her family to continue and complete it. For this task I was fitted in no other way than by a desire, to the best of my power, to do homage to her memory. The interval has since been devoted by me to a special study of the subjects here treated, during which time I have enjoyed every possible advantage, at home and abroad, that could facilitate my labours, excepting that of uninterrupted leisure. To this latter circumstance, therefore, the delay in the appearance of the Work is to be attributed. At the same time those at all conversant with the extent, interest, and comparative obscurity of this study, are aware that the devotion of a life would have only sufficed to do it justice. As it is, these Volumes serve little more than to indicate those accumulated results of the piety and industry of ages, and the laws, moral, historical, and pictorial, connected with them, which have created a realm of Art almost kindred in amount to a kingdom of Nature. I must now explain the condition of Mrs. Jameson´s MS. when first entrusted to me. I found a programme - contained on one sheet of paper - of the titles and sequence of the different parts of the subject; also a portion of the manuscript in a completed state, though without the indication of a single illustration. For what was still unwritten, no materials whatever were left. By her sisters - the Misses Murphy - who have shown the utmost desire to assist me, I was furnished with many note-books and journals.
