Project Gutenberg 2006-01-07 Public domain in the USA. 567 Singleton, Esther 1865 1930 Great Pictures, As Seen and Described by Famous Writers Juliet Sutherland, Leonard Johnson, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Great Pictures, As Seen and Described by Famous Writers" by Esther Singleton is a collection of essays discussing renowned paintings, likely written in the late 19th century. The work brings together reflections from notable writers and critics, providing personal impressions and literary critiques of famous artworks, rather than merely listing their historical significance. The collection seems intended for those interested in the intersection of literature and art, showcasing how paintings inspired profound thoughts from literary minds. The opening of this collection contains a preface by Singleton, where she outlines her intention to curate writings that capture the unique emotional and intellectual responses elicited by great works of art. She emphasizes that the essays included are not just general critiques but rather studies steeped in the personal experiences and historical context of the artists and their works. Singleton also suggests that the book aims to present not just the pieces as they are viewed, but as they have influenced the hearts and minds of the great writers who reflected upon them, illustrating the powerful connection between artifacts of visual beauty and the text they inspire.
