$a The first three title pages carry the publication-date of 1861; the fourth, that of 1867. This is an expanded version of Rio's De La Poésie Chrétienne, published in 1836. In 1870 Rio's Epilogue A L'Art Chrétien (2 vols.) was published. Here Rio attempts a critical evaluation of religious painting in Italy from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, arguing that it is not formal beauty but truth of religious sentiment that gives value to a work of art. The work led to a new appreciation of such painters as Orcagna, Fra Angelico and Carpaccio and depreciation of Florentine 'naturalist' painters of the 15th century and for a preference of the earlier to the later works of Raphael. The work considerably influenced the thinking of the British critics, Lord Lindsay, Mrs. Jameson and John Ruskin. |
