N2  - "Lectures on Painting, Delivered to the Students of the Royal Academy" by Edward Armitage is an educational work that presents a series of lectures focusing on the principles and practices of painting, likely written in the late 19th century. The book aims to provide insight into various aspects of art, including historical costumes, techniques in painting, and analyses of different art schools, with a particular emphasis on clarity and practical application for students of the Royal Academy and other aspiring artists.  The opening of the text features the Preface, where Armitage expresses his intention to share a selection of his lectures delivered from 1876 to 1882. He reflects on the importance of understanding the contextual significance behind costume in historical paintings, emphasizing the need for students to appreciate art not just in theoretical terms but through practical observation and study of the old masters. By underscoring the relationship between attire and the narratives depicted in painting, Armitage sets the groundwork for his discussions on ancient costumes, followed by intending to cover various schools and styles throughout subsequent lectures.
