Excerpt from English Graphic Satire and Its Relation to Different Styles of Painting, Sculpture, and Engraving: A Contribution to the History of the English School of Art Satire in England; nor have I entered upon the antiquarian ground so ably occupied by other writers on this subject. I consider Graphic Satire, or, in the ordinary sense of the term, Caricature, as an important branch of the Fine Arts in this country, however contemptuously an art so popular may be regarded by some inconsiderate critics. Nor can the history and progress of the English school of art be complete without much more than a mere mention, or slight notice of Satiric Art.

Dosso Dossi has long been considered one of Renaissance Italy's most intriguing artists. Although a wealth of documents chronicles his life, he remains, in many ways, an enigma, and his art continues to be as elusive as it is compelling. In Dosso's Fate, leading scholars from a wide range of disciplines examine the social, intellectual, and historical contexts of his art, focusing on the development of new genres of painting, questions of style and chronology, the influence of courtly culture, and the work of his collaborators, as well as his visual and literary sources and his painting technique. The result is an important and original contribution not only to literature on Dosso Dossi but also to the study of cultural history in early modern Italy.
