Transcript | FLORENCE. 55 the Corporations of London and Manchester, we are not without the artists to carry out the design if they are only given the opportunity. On leaving this studio we were taken to the gallery of the Society of Artists, which has been established for the exhibition and sale of modern pictures, chiefly by the artists who have their studios in the building. The subjects were of the usual varied kind, many of them excellent, and the success of the undertaking shows that such a society was needed in Florence, where so many visitors are yearly passing through on their grand tour. Our stay in the grand old city is now coming to a close, and though we have been drawing almost every day, weather permitting, we find that the subjects we delight in are inexhaustible. At every turn some picturesque old building or group presents itself, and often in wandering through the streets have we been reminded of poor Romola until the fiction became a reality. |
