4.9/5 (26340 ratings)

Description:EVERY now and again there comes to light one of those rarely-gifted beings who, incapable of giving forth all be wealth of thought and devotion with which their souls are burdened through one avenue of expression, or not satisfied with such single outlet, surprise the world by the manifold, ways in which they seek to utter forth that which is within them. Of this class is Sir Joseph Noël Paton, R.S.A, LL.D., the breadth and many-sidedness of whose genius is such that one is at first somewhat overwhelmed in the contemplation of the difficulties to be encountered in giving an account of it. For we find in him not merely the artist, but a man of the most varied culture and thought; a profound religious teacher, who seems ever to be more concerned with the enforcing of his view than with the painting of a picture - though heart enough goes to the making of that; and, lastly, a poet who fills and suffuses his canvas with the rarest pictorial poetry. Then, as it were to emphasise this many-sidedness and to give still another point of resemblance to the great master painters of Italy - to the Raphaels, the Michel Angelos, and the Da Vincis, in whom we find painter and architect; painter, poet, architect, and sculptor; and painter, engineer, scientist, and philosopher; we have to add also sculptor.Moreover, it is in this breadth of power and wealth of accomplishment that we find the chief difficulty in dealing with the subject of our monograph; for a man, genius though he may be, cannot be equally great in every department. His very strength and supremacy in one direction may prove to be the cause of weakness in another. In the painter the magnitude of his thought, and the earnestness of his effort to give effect thereto, may be such as to render him indifferent to certain details in working out his conceptions, as we know has been the case with many artists, and notably so in the case of William Blake.But in the following pages it will be my aim to present the man and his art, rather with the broad touch of the contemporary historian than with the more analytical pencil of the critic.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
