Excerpt from Great English Painters: Selected Biographies From Allan Cunningham's "Lives of Eminent British Painters" Though the lives of men devoted to silent study and secluded labour contain few of those incidents which embellish the biogra hies of more stirring spirits, yet they are scarce y less alluring and in structive. Their works are at once their actions and their history, and a record of the taste and feeling of the times in which they ¿ourished. We love to know under what circumstances a great work of art was conceived and completed: it is pleasing to follow the vicissitudes of their fortunes whose ge mus has charmed na - to sympathize in their anxie ties, and to witness their triumph.
