The society's purpose was to promote knowledge of the art works of the old Italian, Flemish, and other European masters.[1][2][3] Much of the work of the society consisted of publishing chromolithographs of Italian art works, especially fresco paintings, of earlier centuries and raising public awareness for the preservation of these works.[4] One of the people most responsible for furthering the goals of the society was Henry Layard, who joined in 1852.
