Little Journeys to the Homes of Eminent Artists

Elbert Hubbard describes the homes of authors, poets, social reformers and other prestigious people, reflecting on how their surroundings may have influenced them. These short essays are part biography and part pontification of Hubbard's opinion of the subject and their oeuvre. In this volume he reflects on the lives of eminent artists, among them Raphael, Leonardo, Thorwaldsen, Velasquez, Cellini, and Whistler. (Summary by Lucy Perry, adapted by Ava) This is volume 6 in a series of 14 books.
