Synopsis
Practical Hints On Composition In Painting by John Burnet is a concise manual that offers guidance on composing paintings, featuring examples from the Italian, Flemish, and Dutch schools. It outlines four essential requisites for successful composition: clearly telling the story, forming a good general shape, providing room for light and shade, and ensuring an agreeable arrangement of color. The text assists readers in selecting arrangements that enhance the depicted moment, emphasizing important objects while avoiding clutter and insignificant details. It describes three principal organizational forms: angular composition, diamond-form (as illustrated in the plates), and circular composition, accompanied by detailed plates and commentary on notable masters such as Rembrandt, Titian, Rubens, Ostade, Cuyp, Raphael, and P. De Laer. Burnet emphasizes that regularity and harmony stem from simple underlying structures, the repetition of forms, and a balanced relationship between foreground and background. The Preface mentions that the plates were originally intended to accompany a broader essay on painting.
