"Art in England: Notes and Studies" by Dutton Cook is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the development of art and its institutions in England, featuring biographical sketches of various artists who significantly influenced the English art scene, while also discussing the broader context of art education and patronage throughout different eras. The opening of the volume lays the groundwork for Cook's exploration of early art schools in England, specifically focusing on King Charles I's contributions to the appreciation of art as a valuable pursuit rather than mere decoration of the royal courts. It highlights the establishment of the Musæum Minervæ, an early academy aimed at educating gentlemen in fine arts and sciences. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at the struggles faced by artists in gaining recognition and support, setting the stage for a deeper analysis of the development of artistic education and influence in society throughout the subsequent chapters.
