A concise introduction to the knowledge of the most eminent painters
by which every lover of the art of painting may instantly know the names, the years, and places of the birth of above two thousand four hundred of the most celebrated artists, who have flourished in any kingdom of Europe for upwards of five hundred years past : and also the subjects painted by each artist, the master under whom he studied, and the age at which he died : intended to instruct (as well as to assist the memory of) those gentlemen and connoisseurs, who either travel abroad for the improvement of their taste, or intend to view the curious collections in these kingdoms
