SIR MARTIN CONWAY'S NOTE. 



Nearly half a. century has passed since Mr* W. H . James Weale, then resident at 

 Bruges, began that long series of patient investigations into the history of Netherlandish 

 art which was destined to earn so rich a harvest. When he began work Memlinc was 

 still called Hemling, and was fabled to have arrived at Bruges as a wounded soldier. 

 The van Eycks were little more than legendary heroes. Roger Van der Weyden was little 

 more than a name. Most of the other great Netherlandish artists were either wholly 

 "'brgotten or named only in connection with paintings with 'which they had nothing to do. 

 Mr. Weale discovered Gerard David, and disentangled his principal works from Mem- 

 line's, with which they were then confused. 



VINCENZO FOPPA OF BRESCIA, FOUNDER OF 



THE LOMBARD SCHOOL, His LIFE AND WORK. By CONSTANCE 

 JOCELYN FFOULKES and MONSIGNOR RODOLFO MAJOCCHI, D.D., 

 Rector of the Collegio Borromeo, Pavia. Based on research in the 

 Archives of Milan, Pavia, Brescia, and Genoa, and on the study 

 of all his known works. With over 100 Illustrations, many in 

 Photogravure, and 100 Documents. Royal 410. ^3 iu. 6d. net. 



*** No complete Life of Vincenzo Foppa has ever been written: an omission "which 

 seems almost inexplicable in these days of over-production in tJie matter of bio- 

 graphies of painters, and of subjects relating to the art of Italy. The object of the 

 authors of this book has been to present a true picture of the masters life based 

 upon the testimony of records in Italian archives. The authors have unearthed a large 

 amount of new material relating to Foppa, one of the most interesting facts brought to 

 light being that he lived for twenty-three years longer than was formerly supposed. The 

 illustrations will include several pictures by Foppa hitherto unknown in the history of art. 



MEMOIRS OF THE DUKES OF URBINO. 



Illustrating the Arms, Art and Literature of Italy from 1440 to 

 1630. By JAMES DENNISTOUN of Dennistoun. A New Edition 

 edited by EDWARD HUTTON, with upwards of 100 Illustrations. 

 Demy 8vo. 3 vols. 42.;. net. 



%* For many years this great book has been out ej print, although it still remains the 

 chief authority upon the Duchy of Urbino from the beginning of the fifteenth century. 

 14r. Hutton has carefully edited the whole work, leaving the text substantially the same, 

 but adding a large number of new notes, comments and references. Wherever possible 

 the reader is directed to original sources. Every sort of 'work has been laid under 

 contribution to illustrate the text, and bibliographies have been supplied on many subjects. 

 Besides these notes the book acquires a new value on account of the mass of illustrations 

 which it now contains, thus adding a pictorial comment to an historical and critical one.
