Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed; contemplating it, everyone can create a story at the will of his imagination and.. with a single glance.. have his soul invaded by the most profound recollections; no effort of memory, everything is summed up in one instant.

There is always a heavy demand for fresh mediocrity. In every generation the least cultivated taste has the largest appetite.
