Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Masters of Genre Painting: Being an Introductory Handbook to the Study of Genre Painting
It records the struggles, the character, the happiness, the folly of men. It has in it what interests the intelligent curiosity of common folk. And, like the intimate studies of our greatest fiction, it is itself history, and itself analysis. It records, not the rare events which stated history chronicles, but the repeated incidents which we know to be events too. It quickens our senses to the Spectacle, in actual life.
