Macfall writes in the foreword: In these pages I have simply written of the greater men of genius who have contributed to the art of painting; and I have touched upon their more famous works rather than attempted an exhaustive list of all their endeavor, that which has no value except to the dealer in antiques. The volumes are an attempt to place before the ordinary man the chief achievement of the years in the Art of Painting; and to hint at something of the real significance of that achievement. The Contents of this volume are divided into the following groups: The Dawn of Modern Painting: The Renaissance in Central Italy; The Painters of Central Italy; 1400; 1450: The Goldsmith-Painters of Florence; and 1500: The Golden Age.
