Excerpt from The Artist, Vol. 2 of 2: A Collection of Essays, Relative to Painting, Poetry, Sculpture, Architecture, the Drama, Discoveries of Science, and Various Other SubjectsTo painters, on the other hand, I apprehend that little more appears to have been said in praise of Raphael and Corregiio, than the soundest judgment can warrant, or than a faithful study of their art will naturally call forth from the proficient. And to this side I confess my own judgment also very strongly inclines. I must, however, in candour confess, that I could not help smiling when I read, a few days since, in a chapter of Lomazzo, (a Milanese painter, who you know wrote on his art in the l6th century) that Poetry is only the shadow of Paink zng and found him, in the course of the same chapter, condescending from a generous regard for his country men, to mention some of the most illustrious Italian poets, as the best exhibitors of this modification of painting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
