" Prof essor Van Dyke is a helpful cicerone, for he 

 does not overpower the reader with his theories, or force 

 upon him his tastes, or crush him with the weight of his 

 learning, but talks clearly and sensibly about what pic- 

 tures are painted for and how we can get the most out 

 of them." The Independent. 



"It would be difficult to find a better or more ac- 

 complished guide in gaining a comprehension of the 

 principles of appreciation as applied to painting." 



The Press (Philadelphia). 



"Not only useful to the unsophisticated, to whom it 

 is admirably adapted, but valuable to those who have a 

 tendency to lose themselves in technicalities." 



New York Times. 



"Mr Van Dyke will help the student to understand 

 how pictures have been made and how they have been 

 brought together in the great galleries ; he will show how 

 to get at the points of view held by the masters, and how, 

 in short, to use the technique of art-study. " 



New York Tribune. 



"Much useful information and suggestive thought 

 in an informal little volume. " International Studio. 



"Professor Van Dyke writes with his usual cool 

 good sense." New York Evening Post. 



"An admirable introduction to travel or study." 

 The Congregationalist.
