The Contributions of Eastlake and Merrifield to a Contemporary Understanding of 19th Century English Artists' Techniques.
Sir Charles Eastlake and Mrs. Merrifield added much, perhaps indirectly, to our knowledge of 19th century English artists' techniques. This paper examines their milieu, and how they gained interest in the painting that they wrote upon, along with their published contributions to fine art scholarship. Both authors are looked at in the light of a particular cultural and intellectual environment. 12pgs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
