We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not love.

About
Anna Brownell Jameson was a British writer. Jameson was born in Dublin. The first work which displayed her powers of original thought was her Characteristics of Women. The result appeared in her Companion to the Private Galleries, followed in the same year by the Handbook to the Public Galleries. She edited the Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters in 1845. That same year she visited her friend Ottilie von Goethe. Her friendship with Annabella Byron, 11th Baroness Wentworth, dates from about this time and lasted for some seven years; it was brought to an end apparently through the Baroness's unreasonable temper. A volume of essays published in 1846 contains one of Jameson's best pieces of work, The House of Titian.
