Philosophers Say That Nothing Can Be Seen

I Will Never Tire Of Recommending The Custom, Practiced By The Best Architects, Of Preparing Not Only Drawings And Sketches, But Also Models Of Wood Or Any Other Material. These...

Practice By Drawing Things Large, As If Equal In Representation And Reality. In Small Drawings Every Large Weakness Is Easily Hidden; In The Large, The Smallest Weakness Is Easily Seen.

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.

A Person Can Do Anything If They Only Will It Strongly Enough.

As Ability Goes, So Goes Our Fortune.
