Shadow of Death

I got this book from the flea market.

" There are only two sorts of pictures. good and bad. For the artist - the real artist - differs from all other workers inasmuch as he gives more than he is paid for; he puts in something of himself, his feeling for art....What are the qualities which to-day, are most worthy of development? Let us put down truth, courage, tenacity and tenderness, and examine a work of art chosen almost at random, say Holman Hunt's Shadow of Death, to ascertain if any of these qualities emerge. "
