About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 Excerpt: ... the kings in the galleries of Xotre Dame at Amiens, which are thirteen feet in height, have no pretensions to appear colossal, and are of this size only on account of the height at which they are placed. In fact, they appear of natural size. twenty years ago, when travels in Greece were beginning to be undertaken by our artists, declared that a residence in Greece was useless if not injurious to architects. They were of opinion that a residence in the country of Pericles, --though in this experience proves that they were mistaken, --might give them ideas contrary to the principles on which the Academy was founded, and seduce them from the loyalty to that mongrel Roman style which is the only one approved by that institution, and of which Lebrun's age has supplied the only recognised types. In fact, we are reduced to that meaningless Roman style, with some indications even of further enfeeblement, --which is natural enough; and if our architects bring back anything from Attica, it is merely descriptive matter; for of principles they bring nothing at all; or at least they take good care not to apply them in their works. I am by no means desirous that one of the Theban buildings, or even the Parthenon, should be reproduced in Paris; what use could we make of them? If we are to imitate an ancient building absolutely, I would rather see one of the veritably Roman structures erected, --the Basilica of Constantine, for example; we could at least make some use of that. But then let us be unpretending; let us regard the facades of our public buildings as mere exhibitions of works of art, --museums or bazaars in the open air, where each sculptor presents his production to the gaze of amateurs; but let us not presume to make believe that we know how to apply statuary ar
