Excerpt from The Treatment of Drapery in Art
Sir Reynolds further says: Carlo Maratta was of opinion that the disposition of drapery was a more difficult Art than even that of drawing the human figure; that a student might be more easily taught the latter than the former, as the rules of drapery could not be so well ascertained as those for delineating a correct form. This Opinion expressed by Carlo Maratta is, however, something of a fallacy. Drapery can undoubtedly be reduced to a system; given certain conditions we can depend upon drapery behaving in a particular way. The old artists proceeded upon a regular system, and often developed their work from the very slightest hint from the model; but it Should be remembered that the artists of the great periods were perfectly trained in both the principles and practice of their Art; they knew their business thoroughly, and were not dependent upon the imitative system which obtains in the present day; they made for certain results, and un doubtedly got what they aimed for.
