Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Italian Travel (1580-1900)
It would not be possible to find a generalisation wide enough to express the difference of the Italian and the Teutonic conceptions of life. It was necessary to indicate that a fundamental difference does exist. The better we understand this fact, the easier it will be to trace the gradual appreciation of Italian art from the years following on the close of the Renaissance - which was also the period of the northern Reformation - to the end of the nineteenth century.
