The early Flemish painters. Notices of their lives and works (1872). This book, "The early Flemish painters Notices of their lives and works," by Joseph Archer Crowe, Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle, is a replication of a book originally published before 1872. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.
Sir Joseph Archer Crowe (25 October 1825 - 06 September 1896) was an English consular official and art critic.
His volumes of the History of Painting in Italy, co-written with the Italian critic Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle (1819–1897), stand at the beginning of disciplined modern art history writing in English, being based on chronologies of individual artists' development and the connoisseurship of identifying artist's individual manners or "hands".
