Excerpt from A Treatise on Painting
The Translator was induced to attempt making an English version of the work of Cennino in consequence of the estimation in which it appears to have been held by the Commissioners on the Fine Arts; and also in consequence of the high commendation of the work by the Italian editor, the learned Signor Tambroni (a member of several academies connected with the arts and sciences). He considers this work of Cennino as a complete and precious memorial of the fine arts in Italy in the fourteenth century; and that of all the modes of painting used by the masters of these times, and of those who succeeded them, Cennino has composed the most complete treatise that has ever been written. He calls it a precious and unique treatise; and says, I am firmly of opinion that the publication of this work will prove of inestimable advantage to present and future painters, especially as to the mode of painting in fresco; this kind of painting being almost, to our shame be it spoken, forgotten and lost.
