Synopsis
Excerpt from The Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashions and Politics, 1810, Vol. 4
Spreads its light wings, and in a moment flies.' An artist may draw a figure extreme ly ill, yet be very eminent in some other departments, and have a' re putation to preserve: but if he has not, it is exceedingly injurious to him to have his faults proclaimed in public. To draw the human fi gure well, I was going to say, is but a-trifle, if rightly set about.' It requires a knowledge of anatomy, of proportions and of a few rules, which ought to be publicly pro claimed, and might be easily un derstood. I have heard that Mr. Carlini, an Italian, and formerly keeper of the Royal Academy, when he saw a young artist vain of this trifle, would say, Don't think you know a great deal, when you know almost nothing.'
