"A MONUMENTAL WORK"
HUBERT & JOHN
VAN EYCK
PRESS OPlNIO^S-confinued
Standard:— "This is to all appearance the most complete book done on the Van Eycks,
and it could hardly have been in better hands than Mr. James Weale's."
Mr. C. Lewis Hind in Daily Chronicle:— "This remarkable book ... a model to all
future scientific art historians ; a volume indispensable to all who concern themselves
with connoisseurship on the history of art."
Outlook:— "Very admirable. . . . This really excellent book ... is, for its end, about
as valuable as well could be."
Spectator:— "This large book is a monument of learning, and in the future every one
who desires to study Van Eyck in detail must consult it."
Pall Mall Ga7.ette:— "When such an authority on Flemish art as Mr. Weale produces
a book on one of its greatest artists, we are prepared for something unusually good and
thorough, and no one will be disappointed by this fine work."
Nation:— "An ample and beautifully illustrated volume."
Glasgoiv Herald
— " A splendidly produced and elaborately illustrated monograph on the
Van Eycks, a work which cannot fail to be welcome to every student of the fascinating
subject, which Mr. Weale may almost be said to have made his own, so replete is it
with the historical learning and critical acumen for which the author has always been
distinguished."
Daily Mail
— " Among the great mass of art books which are being turned out ... in
ever-increasing numbers, there are but three or four a year that are of permanent value
to the student—three or four that represent the result of life-long devotion to some
particular subject ... to this class belongs Mr. James Weale's imposing volume."
World:— ". . . the publication by Mr. Weale of an exhaustive and authoritative book
on the life and work of Hubert and John Van Eyck is an event of no slight interest."
IVestininster
Gazette
— " A very handsome volume. . . . The author's aim was to
provide those who may attempt to write the history of the school of painting that
flourished
in the Low Countries in the fifteenth century, with as complete a guide as possible to
all that had been published concerning its founders up to the present date."
