A
Month in the Country
A theory of
criticism, a theory of art restoration if it comes to that. The problem is not
so theoretical, it happens all the time.
Great works of
art come to light, as this one does, by patient restoring or some critic’s insight,
no matter how long they have lain under a cloud of misunderstanding and
whatnot.
Certain unimportant
considerations are given due weight in the account of a fifteenth-century
fresco uncovered in Oxgodsby.
