Página xiv - ... proof. It is to Titian we must turn our eyes to find excellence with regard to colour, and light and shade, in the highest degree. He was both the first and the greatest master of this art.

Página xiii - ... not proceed from their works being more highly finished than those of other artists, or from a more minute attention to details, but from that enlarged comprehension which sees the whole object at once, and that energy of art which gives its characteristic effect by adequate expression. Raffaelle and Titian are two names which stand the highest in our art ; one for Drawing, the other for Painting.
Página xiv - ... said to be a lesser whole, though in regard to the general work to which it belongs, it is but a part : the same may be said of the head, of the hands, and feet. Though he possessed this art of seeing and comprehending the whole, as far as form is concerned, he did not exert the same faculty in regard to the general effect, which is presented to the eye by co- lour, and light and shade.
Página 5 - A proverb that, in sense, surpasses The brains combined of stags and asses : Yet, for I must thy perils trace, Sweet bulbul * of the long-ear'd race ! Soft soul of harmony ! yet hear ; If thou wilt rashly charm our ear, And with thy warblings, loud and deep, Unseal the leaden eye of sleep ; Roused by thy song, and arm'd with staves, The gard'ner, and a host of slaves, • The Persian word for Nightingale.
