Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Early English Portraits and Landscapes Lent by Mr. John H. McFadden: April the Twenty-Sixth, Through June the Fifteenth, 1917 It would doubtless be difficult to define just how greatly, the painters of this period in uenced each other in their work, but this much is certain: the power and in uence of a really great work of art is instant and far-reaching. The most potent in uence in the develop ment of art is art itself. For instance, the in uence of Constable upon modern landscape art is fully recognized by the ablest landscape painters of our time. His powerful works, painted with great directness and sincerity and possessing as they do the essential qualities of truth and harmony, have done much to stimulate and advance the art of land scape painting. It is at least interesting to note that wherever arthas risen to a high degree of perfection it has been advanced by artists more or less closely allied, and that the artists of great genius who were born in Eng land during the eighteenth century and who worked during the same period and under the same in uences, bear an interesting relation in this respect to other groups of artists of other periods and of other countries. The Greek sculptors, Phidias, Polycletus, Myron and Calamus, lived and worked during the latter part of the fifth century b.c., the golden age of Greek art. In Italy, in Florence and Venice, at the beginning of the sixteenth century, Michaelangelo, Raphael, and Titian were painting their important frescoes. And the golden era of Dutch painting is compressed into the brief period between 1625 and 1670, the period of Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Pieter de Hooch, Meindert Hobbema, Jacob van Ruisdael, Gerard Terborch, and Jan Vermeer. In later times, the art of France was greatly advanced by two distinct groups of painters the group of 1830 and the modern impressionists. There is a prevalent impression, especially among writers, that a few great artists have been born at rare intervals, but it is very probable, if not certain, that the power and in uence in any one period of two or more men of great or exceptional intellectual power, acting and reacting through their art upon each other has been responsible for the extraordinary develop ment and achievement of art at certain times in the history of the world.
