... The Movements Of The Body Reveal

Painting Contains A Divine Force Which Not Only Makes Absent Men Present, As Friendship Is Said To Do, But Moreover Makes The Dead Seem Almost Alive.

The Arts Are Learnt By Reason And Method; They Are Mastered By Practice.

A Man Can Do All Things If He Will.

I Shall Praise Those Faces Which Seem To Project Out Of The Picture As Though They Were Sculptured, And I Shall Censure Those Faces In Which I See No Art But That Of Outline.

What Is Painting But The Act Of Embracing, By Means Of Art, The Surface Of The Pool?
