From the Foreword: "As far as possible, every work of art discussed is reproduced, including preliminary studies, various states of etchings, and comparative material. At any one time he may have been working in several different mediums on subject matter ranging from biblical themes to portrait commissions to landscape studies. He taught many pupils, dealt in art, became involved in lawsuits, and pursued his own course without deviation regardless of shifts of fortune and popular taste in art. Throughout his long career runs the unrivaled series of self-portraits, his own autobiography."
