Only God Creates. The Rest Of Us

From Such A Gentle Thing, From Such A Fountain Of All Delight, My Every Pain Is Born.

Patience Is Eternal Genius

In My Opinion Painting Should Be Considered Excellent In Proportion As It Approaches The Effect Of Relief, While Relief Should Be Considered Bad In Proportion As It Approaches The Effect Of Painting.

However Rich I May Have Been, I Have Always Lived Like A Poor Man.

Good Painting Is Nothing Else But A Copy Of The Perfections Of God And A Reminder Of His Painting. Finally, Good Painting Is A Music And A Melody Which Intellect Only Can Appreciate, And With Great Difficulty.
