GREAT PICTURES
AS
MORAL TEACHERS
By HENRY E. JACKSON
A Recognition of the Value of Pictures in Teaching
The author has selected twenty of the world's great pictures and
sculptures and interpreted the meaning which the artist intended to
convey.
People are awakening more and more to the value of works of art in
teaching. They are regaining a truer perspective and saner judgment
in regard to them. That pictures are of great value in teaching
certain forms of knowledge is not now questioned; on the contrary,
it is approved and practiced. In view of this, the need arises for
careful selection and education of the popular taste. The present
work is intended to meet this need. The author has chosen his
subjects with great care and adopted as his interpretation the
consensus of opinion among great critics.
The subject is treated in a manner to interest not only students of
religious history and movements, but those viewing it from a purely
artistic standpoint. The work contains twenty fine half-tone engravings
made from authorized photographs of the original paintings and
sculptures.
