The Greatest Work Of An Artist Is

We Must Always Take From Nature What We Paint And Always Choose The Most Beautiful Things.

Painting Is Possessed Of Divine Power, For Not Only Does It Make The Absent Present, But Also Makes The Dead Almost Alive.

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.

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... Enable Us To Examine... The Work As A Whole... And, Before Continuing Any Further, To Estimate The Likely Trouble And Expense.

Buildings Have Been Made Because Of Man.
