| Sumario: | The German artist Johann David Passavant 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, & so decided to publish a narrative of his own travels & observations. The British writer & 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 & the royal collections at Buckingham & Kensington Palaces, Windsor Castle & Hampton Court, as well as the private galleries of aristocrats & wealthy commoners in London & the home counties, ending with the colleges of Oxford. |
