exact and true proportion of Mans Body was not understood by Occasion whereof there never came any Excellent Peeces abroad although the matter were never so costly And consequently that the Painters being ignorant of that they had in hand instead of proportionable men made lame Pictures as the Architecture Temples Images and Pictures made throughout the whole World but especially in Italy about the time of Constantine the Great untill Giotto in Tuscany as Andrino di Edesia Pauese in Lombardy can sufficiently witness and this in a word is that the knowledge whereof so satisfieth the judgment that it maketh it not onely able to make whosoever we list but also teacheth us to judge of Images and Pictures as well antient as new and without this a Painter besides that he is not worthy the name of a Painter is like one which perswadeth himself he swimmeth above Water when indeed he sinketh to conclude then it is impossible to make any decent or well proportioned thing without this Symetrical measure of the parts orderly united Wherefore my greatest endeavour shall be to lay open the worthiness of this part of painting unto all such as are naturally inclined thereunto by reason of a good temperature joyned with an apt Disposition of the parts thereof for such men will be much affected therewith to the end they may the better perceive the force of Nature vvho by industry and help of a good conceipt vvill easily attain to so deep a reach that they vvill be able upon the sudden to discern any Disproportion as a thing repugnant to their Nature unto which perfection on the contrary Side they can never attain vvhose Judgements are corrupted through the Distemperature of their Organical parts I speak of such vvho not knowing the virtue of proportion affect nothing else but the vain surface of garish colours wrought after their own humour vvho prove only Dawbers of Images and Walls throughout the whole World moving the beholders partly to smile at their Follies and partly to greive that the Art should be thus disgraced by such absurde Idiot's who as they have no judgement herein so do they run into divers other most shamefull errors into which I never heard that any ever fell who were acquainted with the Beauty of proportion but have rather prooved men of rare Spirits and sound Judgements as may be gathered by the great request it was in untill the times of those Princes as well antient as late But before I proceed any farther I think it necessary to treat something of a Head in particular First Of the Head in Prophile or side-wayes THe manner to make this Head by just and safe rules is thus First forme a perfect equall Triangle in what position you will turning the Triangle to make the Face upon one of the three sides be it which it will either upwards or downwards According to Odnardo Fialetti higer or lower dividing that side into three equall parts the one to serve from the lower part of the Haire to the lower part of the Forehead the Second thence to the under part of the Nostrils the Third to the lower part of the Chinn now having framed these three lines draw a little crooked stroak vvith a Cole or Chalk out of the right Line that may reach from the top of the Forehead unto the Eyebrow from vvhence draw away the slope Line bending at the end To performe the Nose either long short gross or thin as you vvould have it ending that at the second distance vvhere the Nostrils end then subdivide the remaining third part in the midst vvhere the Mouth shall be placed for the parting of the upper and under Lipps then frame the Chinn having a respect to the perpendicular Line that it fall not out of the middle of the Chinn adjoyning thereto the under Chinn down to the Throat-pit So with the other two dividing lines the one from the Top of the Forehead downwards and ends in the midst of the back part of the Ear the other proceedeth upwards from the Chinn ascening till that meet with the Superiour descending Line whose Intersection directeth the Eare that the circumference thereof stretch not too far Thus with your judgement take the upper part of the Forehead and come to describe a great circular Line about to Form with that the roundness of the Head unto the Nape of the Neck keeping the proportion that Nature teacheth and from thence downwards frame the rest of the Neck remembring that the Tip of the Eare doth not exceed the lower part of the Nostril So you may have the Head in what Position you will so this abandon not the two other Lines each concurring in their due points Of the Foreright Face BEing then desireous to draw the Foreright Face it will be necessary to Forme a perfect Ovall which being made divide it in the midst with a line the longest way that is to say a perpendicular line divide this line into three equall parts allowing a fourth of one of the three parts for the Hair in the Forehead the First for the Forehead the Second for the Nose the Third for the Chin. In the midst thereof must the Mouth be formed alwayes remembring that the Eyes must be in one line the cross line of the Nose and Mouth must alwayes be correspondent to the cross line where the Eyes are placed and the Eyes must be the length of one Eye distant from the other and that their inward Corners be perpendicularly over the out-side of the Nostrils punctually but to make the Eares in a Foreright Face proportionable they must be much Foreshortned by Foreshortning I mean when the Eye doth not see the full Latitude of it the proportion of the length of the Eare to be from the Eyebrowes to the bottome of the Nostrils and then joyn the Neck with the Hair in such sort as may seem most pleasant unto the Eye Of the Head in Foreshortning HItherto I have treated of the Head both Foreright and in other Positions but that you might know all that is needfull for the perfect understanding of this profession it is necessary that I specifie the manner how to draw the Face by an easy absolute and fair way Treating thus I propound to you Methodical means therein because my intent is to Facilitate the matter in that manner but without writing thereupon it may be intelligible for a draught well made hath that power that it makes itself understood without any discourse of the Author thereon but I alwayes observe both the one and the other also I say that the foreshortning which is made onely with Fretts Grates Squares or with Geometrical Instruments breed onely a confusion of lines which is not the best principal of expert Ingenuity the reason whereof is that it can hardly be measured by any Rule unless the whole Body be framed together Therefore I will shew an easy Rule very like to that of the foreright Face that is to
