Pacchiarotto, and How He Worked in Distemper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pacchiarotto, and How He Worked in Distemper is a short collection of English poems by Robert Browning, published in 1876. The collection marked Browning's first collection of short pieces for more than twelve years, and was well-received. The title poem, which ostensibly discusses the life and works of 15th Century Italian painter Giacomo Pacchiarotti, is actually a thinly-veiled attack on Browning's own critics, and many other pieces in the collection take the same tone.
