DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe following pages are not offered to the reader as a history of the invasion of Russia by Napoleon. They are but the statement of the basis of observation on which M. Verestchagin has founded his great series of pictures illustrative of the campaign. These pictures are now to be exhibited in this country, and the painter has naturally desired to show us from what point of view he has approached the study of his subject-one of the greatest subjects in the whole range of history-especially for a Russian artist. The point of view is-inevitably in his case-that of the Realist; and this consideration gives unity to the conception of his whole career and endeavour. He has ever painted war as it is, and therefore in its horrors, as one of its effects, though not necessarily as an effect sought in and for itself. He has tried to be "true" in all his representations of the battle-field. His work may thus be said to constitute a powerful plea in support of the Tsar's Rescript to the Nations in favour of peace. My meaning will be best illustrated by a short sketch of M. Verestchagin and his work, as painter, as soldier, and as traveller.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In the Forbidden Land: An account of a journey in Tibet, capture by the Tibetan authorities, imprisonment, torture and ultimate release" by Arnold Henry Savage Landor Arnold Henry Savage Landor was an English painter, explorer, writer, and anthropologist. During his travels, he kept a diary of adventures and misadventures. This book in particular covers Landor's time in Tibet. Parts of the book can be hard to read as it recounts the, at times, brutal treatment at the hands of spiritual leaders, but in all, it provides a thrilling and insightful look into the past.
