To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The place of Rubens is, amongst Flemish painters, so incomparably the most eminent, that to be certain that the spell he weaves is not too strong, one has, as I consider, in thought, to turn, not to his blemish pre- decessors — men as much unlike him in the extent as in the character of their talent, of their genius even : for patient genius the best of the early men xiv THE NATIONAL GALLERY— FLEMISH SCHOOL assuredly possessed — one has, I say, to turn, not to them at all, but to a Dutchman of ...Rubens' s day, the greatest Dutchman of all days- Rembrandt. Then it is that one perceives Rubens's deficiencies and limitations, along with his strength. Nature, with Rubens — the soul of Nature at least, whether disclosed by Landscape or Humanity — is never serre de pres! With a deep Nature, this giant of the brush, abandoned to the passion for material things, is not in touch, genuinely. He visits — in the garden of our Earth the flowers and the splendours, and he passes on. Rembrandt, meantime — his outward experiences sordid and small in comparison with those of the stately citizen of Antwerp, and of the world — has penetrated to the heart of things : has been the poet of the Jan Lutma, the psychologist of the Clement de Jonghe and of the Mere de Rembrandt au voile noir.
