This four-volume work by Gustav Friedrich Waagen (1794-1868), translated by Lady Eastlake, was published between 1854 and 1857. Waagen was crucial to the adoption in Britain of the new approach to art history pioneered in Germany, and his work is still consulted on matters of provenance and quality.
