The German artist Johann David Passavant (1787 1861) visited
Britain in 1831 in order to examine works by Raphael in private and
public galleries for a book he was preparing. He had not been able
to find any helpful German accounts of British collections, and so
decided to publish a narrative of his own travels and observations.
The British writer and art critic Elizabeth Rigby (later Lady
Eastlake) produced a two-volume translation in 1836, believing that
English readers would benefit from Passavant's descriptions of
little-known collections in their own country, as well as from his
practitioner's response to the works themselves. Volume 1 covers
the National Gallery, the Royal Academy and the royal collections
at Buckingham and Kensington Palaces, Windsor Castle and Hampton
Court, as well as the private galleries of aristocrats and wealthy
commoners in London and the home counties, ending with the colleges
of Oxford."
