Lyt med-app
Product text: In The Book of Art for Young People Agnes Ethel Conway provides an overview of the history of art from the 13th to the 19th century. Excerpt from the book: "Almost the pleasantest thing in the world is to be told a splendid story by a really nice person. If I might choose the person to tell me the kind of story I like to listen to, and hear told to me over and over again, it would be some one who could draw pictures for me while talking. But my story-teller should not only draw the pictures while he talked, but he should paint them too. Now, the old pictures you see in the picture galleries are just like that, only the people that painted them didn't invent the stories but merely illustrated stories which, at the time those painters lived, every one knew. Unfortunately all the pictures in the galleries weren't painted just for you and me; but you'll find, if you look for them, plenty that were, and the rest don't matter." Artist Bio Author: Agnes Ethel Conway (1885-1950) was a British historian and archaeologist who worked in the Middle East from 1929-1936. She was noted for her work with her husband George Horsfield at Petra and Kilwa.
