TO The Right Honourable THOMAS Lord BELLASIS Viscount FAVLCONBERG My Lord WHen I had the honour to attend your Lordship in your Embassy to the States of Venice it was my fortune there to meet with a small Piece entituled Viaggio Pittoresco d'Italia the Task being of no very great difficulty and altogether agreeable to my own inclination I have gratified my self and I hope not disobliged ingenious Artists in a faithful rendition of it into English which I have done the rather because the Book is rarely to be found in Italy and I cannot remember I have seen any Original in England but that which is in my own hands I have taken courage to prefix your Lordships honourable name to this Translation to render it acceptable to the world under the Patronage of an acurate Judge and a zealous lover and encourager of the noble Art of Painting If it may serve to put your Lordship in mind of the pleasure you received by a personal view and admiration of those great Masters elaborate Pieces when your Lordship was abroad and in any measure testifie my desires to serve your Lordship 't is the greatest Honour and satisfaction can be wished for or is attainable by My LORD Your Lordship 's most obliged and most obedient Servant W. L. To the ingenious READERS HAving not many years since given my self the satisfaction of personally viewing the most principal Places and Rarities of Rome and other the beautiful Cities of Italy I thought my self obliged to make my Countreymen some accompt of my Observations those especially who are lovers of the Noble Art of Painting if not to assure our young Nobility and Gentry that 't is worth their while and curiosity to Travel yet at least to inflame their minds and excite their industry to imitate those great Masters whose Employment made their Lives easie their Persons Venerable and their Names Immortal On these considerations I had attempted my self a Collection of what I had seen but for want of opportunities and admission into several Places of remark I was about to have desisted from that Design which I foresaw was like to be but very imperfect At last lighting upon the ensuing Treatise I found the work critically done to my hand wherein there is a faithful accompt of the Names and Performances of most of the greatest Masters as well Antient as Modern whose curious and elaborate Pieces are at this day the fairest Ornament and Pride o● all the places of Devotion Pleasure and Magnificence throughout all Italy The Author Giacomo Barr● was a Venetian Painter of good esteem and had the good hap to please his Countreymen by letting them know in this Book what Treasures they were Masters of and I dare hope this my Translation mean as it is has not rendred it altogether unacceptable at home to those at least who have any passion for an Art so worthily esteemed by the most Ingenious Spirits of all Ages I have added onely two things of my own to this work One is a view of Signior Septale's Closet in Milan not inferiour to any of the Italian Princes Collections inaccessible it seems to our Author The other a few Heads of some of the most renowned Masters I shall compass the ends of all my Travels and pains if my Countreymen by these my endeavours may take encouragement to emulate what they see there so highly valued and admired and undoubtedly the English Genius is as capable of arriving at the highest pitch of Perfection and Glory in This and all other Liberal Sciences as that of old Athens or of modern Rome W.
