CHAPTER I A FIRST VISIT TO ITALY1 Have we but one life to live, then let us live it in Italy ITALY in the early eighties seemed to me a longway off, as doubtless to many other youngpainters who had to live by their art in little imagination a long course of studio workhad left me, had been stirred by a borrowed copy ofRuskins Stones of Venice j and this, with Turnersseries of Venetian drawings in the cellars of our NationalGallery (with due allowance made for that masterspoetic vision), placed Venice somewhere in the regionsof the blest. Yes, it seemed a long way off when each mile wasreckoned at a penny, and pence were nearly as scarceas patrons in want of a beginners work. Nevertheless,I got there, and it came about in this wise.
