zeuxis_n timantes_n protogenes_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o first_o class_n of_o painter_n for_o if_o apelles_n appear_v so_o rare_a a_o person_n among_o they_o for_o his_o know_v how_o to_o

more_o difficult_a to_o express_v as_o in_o effect_v it_o be_v less_o sensible_a i_o have_v remark_v this_o ingenious_a stroke_n in_o his_o first_o piece_n of_o the_o seven_o sacrament_n where_o st._n

apelles_n take_v delight_n to_o represent_v the_o history_n of_o agonize_a and_o die_a person_n and_o we_o here_o meet_v with_o by_o i_o know_v not_o what_o fortuitous_a encounter_n that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o extreme_a unction_n present_v the_o same_o subject_a to_o our_o painter_n who_o be_v about_o to_o handle_v this_o holy_a mystery_n under_o a_o noble_a and_o magnificent_a idea_n suitable_a to_o his_o genius_n have_v express_o choose_v the_o person_n of_o a_o roman_a captain_n in_o his_o last_o agony_n environ_v by_o all_o his_o relation_n mother_n wife_n and_o child_n and_o

paint_v the_o priest_n assist_v the_o poor_a dying-man_n and_o administer_a the_o holy_a oil_n with_o a_o devotion_n full_a of_o piety_n i_o shall_v be_v over_o tedious_a to_o undertake_v here_o the_o description_n of_o all_o those_o other_o consideration_n and_o judicious_a circumstance_n to_o be_v see_v in_o this_o admirable_a composition_n i_o shall_v soon_o have_v say_v in_o a_o word_n that_o it_o be_v the_o real_a parallel_n of_o that_o famous_a masterpiece_n of_o timanthes_n upon_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o iphigenia_n which_o i_o have_v already_o mention_v and_o which_o pliny_n and_o quintilian_n describe_v to_o we_o as_o the_o rare_a most_o ingenious_a and_o accomplish_a table_n of_o antiquity_n but_o to_o determine_v whether_o of_o the_o two_o their_o old_a or_o our_o modern_a have_v express_v his_o subject_n with_o great_a art_n and_o more_o pathetical_o be_v a_o question_n i_o can_v resolve_v content_v myself_o in_o affirm_v this_o that_o among_o all_o our_o modern_a painter_n our_o poussin_n appear_v another_o timantes_n the_o same_o reason_n which_o restrain_v i_o from_o any_o far_o engage_v in_o the_o examen_fw-la of_o this_o excellent_a composition_n oblige_v i_o to_o pass_v over_o the_o rest_n of_o this_o great_a work_n which_o make_v up_o but_o its_o seven_o part_n beside_o that_o the_o enterprise_n will_v prove_v too_o vast_a for_o i_o who_o have_v already_o transgress_v the_o limit_n which_o i_o propose_v to_o myself_o at_o my_o first_o set_v out_o i_o will_v only_o add_v one_o thing_n in_o general_n which_o seem_v very_o considerable_a to_o i_o and_o worthy_a of_o remark_n with_o which_o i_o shall_v conclude_v that_o every_o one_o of_o these_o piece_n be_v so_o admirable_a in_o their_o kind_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o particularise_v in_o any_o single_a one_o of_o the_o whole_a seven_o which_o appear_v to_o have_v the_o least_o advantage_n of_o the_o other_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o artist_n for_o though_o the_o story_n of_o the_o respective_a mystery_n which_o they_o represent_v be_v not_o always_o equal_o redundant_fw-la and_o fit_a for_o expression_n yet_o this_o puissant_a genius_n know_v so_o well_o how_o to_o proportion_v each_o part_n of_o his_o subject_n to_o the_o term_n of_o their_o mutual_a equality_n and_o give_v so_o relative_a a_o perfection_n to_o the_o whole_a that_o he_o have_v leave_v we_o no_o place_n for_o our_o choice_n or_o that_o we_o can_v wish_v for_o any_o one_o of_o they_o preferable_a to_o another_o for_o though_o each_o table_n consider_v by_o itself_o and_o separate_v from_o this_o union_n or_o as_o one_o may_v say_v this_o encyclopedia_n of_o sacrament_n be_v usual_o look_v on_o as_o a_o complete_a and_o independent_a history_n from_o the_o rest_n yet_o our_o painter_n original_a intention_n be_v to_o form_n of_o they_o one_o particular_a mystical_a body_n compose_v of_o these_o seven_o holy_a member_n which_o be_v the_o obl_a idea_n can_v be_v conceive_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o christian_a painter_n and_o which_o be_v so_o peculiar_a that_o it_o seem_v not_o to_o have_v be_v ever_o think_v of_o by_o any_o before_o he_o strive_v to_o render_v it_o a_o chef_fw-fr d'_fw-fr oeure_fw-fr in_o which_o he_o have_v discover_v himself_o such_o a_o master_n of_o the_o subject_n he_o undertake_v that_o we_o may_v easy_o conclude_v he_o know_v how_o to_o have_v do_v as_o much_o even_o in_o the_o most_o barren_a and_o simple_a argument_n as_o in_o the_o most_o rich_a and_o magnificent_a the_o fecundity_n of_o his_o spirit_n have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o aid_n from_o matter_n which_o at_o first_o appear_v as_o incredible_a to_o be_v affirm_v of_o he_o as_o it_o be_v realy_a true_a and_o visible_a in_o the_o work_v of_o he_o by_o the_o equality_n which_o he_o have_v introduce_v with_o so_o much_o art_n in_o each_o particular_a that_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o domineer_v above_o the_o rest_n and_o this_o uniformity_n of_o

for_o after_o these_o two_o sovereign_a painter_n we_o need_v seek_v no_o more_o of_o the_o modern_n capable_a of_o this_o noble_a contestation_n but_o when_o i_o have_v well_o consider_v that_o

affirm_v that_o i_o have_v for_o this_o reason_n cast_v my_o eye_n upon_o the_o principal_a work_n of_o leonardo_n that_o renown_a supper_n of_o our_o b._n saviour_n which_o he_o paint_v at_o milan_n in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o great_a king_n francis_n the_o first_o which_o succeed_v so_o well_o for_o the_o fortunate_a artist_n that_o it_o purchase_v he_o the_o good_a grace_n of_o their_o illustrious_a monarch_n who_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n to_o invite_v he_o to_o his_o court_n and_o retain_v he_o ever_o after_o in_o his_o particular_a service_n we_o have_v in_o the_o royal_a parish_n of_o st._n germains_n at_o paris_n a_o excellent_a good_a copy_n of_o this_o supper_n which_o many_o believe_v to_o be_v of_o the_o very_a hand_n of_o leonardo_n himself_o but_o the_o same_o history_n have_v be_v frequent_o treat_v of_o by_o raphael_n and_o be_v all_o to_o be_v see_v in_o stamp_n which_o be_v a_o most_o commodious_a expedient_a by_o which_o to_o paragon_n they_o with_o that_o which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o poussins_n work_n of_o the_o seven_o sacrament_n but_o to_o arrive_v to_o this_o accurate_a criticism_n with_o the_o requisite_a circumspection_n and_o follow_v
