How to Study Painting @ The Louvre?
- First look as a representation of such a given subject, for which a relatively fixed and conventional set of figures or accessories was prescribed by tradition. The number and minuteness of the prescribed accessories will grow upon you as you watch them.
- You have then to observe how each school as a whole treats such works ; what feeling it introduces, toward what sort of modification in style or tone it usually tends.
- Next, you must consider it relatively to its age, as exemplifying a particular stage in the progress of. the science and art of painting.
- Last of all you must carefully estimate what peculiarities are due to the taste, the temperament, the hand, and the technique of the individual artist.
