Excerpt from Old Pictures in Florence: With a Prefatory Note by William A. Sim Old Pictures in Florence (men and Women, 1855) has been aptly described as c a quaint heterogeneous causerz'e suggested to the writer on a sunny March morning, while he looked down from some high set villa's parapet over the city, radiant through its live translucent bath of air Yonder soars Giotto's Tower. His very name recalls many less famous followers, whose ghosts seem still to haunt street and square, bewait tng now a faded fresco, now a dim canvas. Their lover had patiently studied these path etic relics. i spent some most delightful time, wrote Rossetti to Allingham, with Browning at Paris, both in the evenings and at the Louvre, where {and throughout conversation) I found his knowledge of Early Italian Art beyond that of any one I ever met encyclopaedically beyond that of Ruskin himself. Though such worklacked the formal grace of Greek sculpture, it pursued a loftier ideal. Let the visible go to the dogs what matters 5? Myron's Athene and the Cnidian Aphrodite by Praxi teles represented a lim ited mundane loveliness, which meant submission, finality, arrested development. Cimabue, Em Angelica, Taddeo Gaddi, Duccio dared to be faulty: faulty because they embodied spiritual yearnings, steps, stages, phases of process in a soul's growth. Perspective was ill understood. Backgrounds became merely symbolic hints. A bluish expanse with impossible fishes stood for the sea. Yet admit all this defective execution, this contracted range of power, says Mrs. Jameson, how exquisitely beau tiful are certain of the remains of this early age, afierding in their simple genuine feeling examples of eazcellence which our modern painters begin to recognise, and which even the great Raphael did not disdain to admire and even to copy.

This new volume proposes, in similar format but with recent photographs, illustrating the painting in their present state, the new edition of the book dedicated by Richard Offner in 1947 to the workshop of Bernardo Daddi, artist very much in demand in the first half of the 14th century. To some 70 pictures catalogued by Offner with entries which are now updated with new data on state and history as well as with bibliography, ten further, hitherto unpublished or little known items are given in this edition. The survey offered here makes the circle of Daddi, where several of chief figures of the Florentine painting in the second half of the Trecento were formed, one of the better known areas of the history of Italian painting of the Middle Age and early Renaissance.
