Van Dyke, with his belief that the enjoyment of beauty is one of the highest aims of human existence, attempts to deliver a guidebook that speaks about the man behind the paintbrush; deals with pictures from the painter's point of view, rather than that of the ecclesiastic, the archaeologist, or the literary romancer; has some proportion in the selection and criticism of pictures; with a critical basis for discrimination between the good and the bad; and that shall, for these reasons be of service to the traveling public as well as to the art student.
