Excerpt from Catalogue of the Royal Picture Gallery in Dresden Art-history has become an independent science, during the period which has elapsed since Julius Hiibner in the year 1856, published the first edition of his Cata logue of the Royal Picture Gallery in Dresden which for its time and of its kind, was worthy of all respect. Fresh light has been thrown upon the lives of a great many, perhaps the majority, of artists, through the study of archives; and by means of these researches and by comparative study of pictures, new and often surprising results have been attained concerning the authors of a considerable number of old pictures in all the collections of Europe.
