VELASQUEZ BY R. A. M. STEVENSON LONDON G. BELL SONS, LTD. 1912
PREFATORY NOTE THE critical part of the matter in this volume has
appeared before, in a more expensive form, under the title The Art
of Velasquez. The biographical infor m tion, however, which was
limited then to a single paragraph, has been amplified, and now
forms a separ ate chapter. The Author has taken advantage of the
opportunity to make a few verbal corrections, the time at his
disposal not having allowed him to re-visit Madrid, as he had hoped
to do. A list of the works of Velasquez, and a Bibliography, have
been added by the Editor of the Series. It is not claimed that the
list is in any sense complete nor has Dr Williamson attempted to be
critical in his attribu tions. He has simply recorded all the
pictures attri buted to Velasquez with which he is acquainted,
adding such notes as are contained in catalogues or in his own
note-books, and accepting the information supplied by the owners of
the pictures. To the pages of the book he would refer the student
for any scientific criticism or for authoritative statements as to
the authenticity of disputed pictures. CONTENTS BIBLIOGRAPHY . .
