In perusing the life of a PainJ berthe reader is reminded at the outset that it is the man rather than the artist who invites attention. The annals of a Painter sworks may be comprised within a brief catalogue of subjects, dates, and patrons; the critical estimate of them, as on most works of art which convey their own interpretation, may be given in comparatively few words; the events in the life of a laborious and successful painter are generally scanty. It follows, therefore, that if the mind which underlies the art should not have found expression in forms of more general interest, there remain but slender materials for a memoir. Nor is it safe to infer that a Painter smind may in great measure be read through his works; his mode of viewing Nature, his feeling for Art are seen in them ;but the force or the refinement which they display are not invariably recognisable in the individual who gave them birth.

(Sir Charles Eastlake, a former president of the British R...)
Sir Charles Eastlake, a former president of the British Royal Academy and director of the National Gallery, was one of the world's foremost experts on the techniques of painting. A painter of considerable renown himself, he devoted years to traveling throughout England and Europe, where he searched through museums, monasteries, universities, and libraries, gradually amassing a collection of rare manuscripts from which he was able to reconstruct the technical secrets of the great painters of the past. In this comprehensive treasury (two volumes bound as one), Eastlake presents the results of his researches. He offers detailed discussions of Greek and Roman art methods, medieval techniques, tempera painting, the revolutionary use of oil paints by Hubert van Eyck, Flemish methods of preparing colors, and the methods of Reynolds and other 18th-century British masters. The second volume focuses on the technical secrets of members of various Italian schools, including such masters as Leonardo, Raphael, Perugino, Correggio, Andrea del Sarto, and many others. Rounding off the book are more than 100 pages of professional essays covering a wide range of subjects from "Life in Inanimate Things" and "Neutral Tints in White and Other Draperies" to "Venetian Process" and "How to Compose and Paint a Single Head." Students, painters, art historians, and any lover of fine art will find Eastlake's work invaluable, both for its source material and its painstaking coverage of the technical evolution of painting.

Charles Lock Eastlake was born on the 17th of November 1793 at Plymouth, where his father, a man of uncommon gifts but of indolent temperament, was solicitor to the admiralty and judge advocate of the admiralty court.
Charles was educated at the Plympton grammar-school, and in London at the Charterhouse.
Towards 1809, partly through the influence of his fellow-Devonian Haydon, of whom he became a pupil, he determined to be a painter; he also studied in the Royal Academy school.
In 1814 he was commissioned to copy some of the paintings collected by Napoleon in the Louvre; he returned to England in 1815, and practised portrait- painting at Plymouth.
This was the first work that attracted much notice to the name of Eastlake, who in consequence obtained his election as A. R. A. ; in 1830, when he returned to England, he was chosen R. A.
In 1850 he succeeded Shee as president of the Royal Academy, and was knighted.
During his directorship he purchased for the gallery 155 pictures, mostly of the Italian schools.
