ABSTRACT
The painter Phillips (1770-1845) was Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy from 1825 to 1832. During a course of ten lectures on painting which he gave in 1827 he spoke of early Italian painting, and especially of Giotto's work in the Cappella degli Scrovegni at Padua (Lectures on the History and Principles of Painting, 1833, p. 40).
