The colours are too glaring, without being broken down, as they ought to be, by a pri- H 4 vation [ 104 ] vation of light : and they do not partake of the refledion of the ad- jacent objeds. In fine, we obferve nothing which can prove, that the ancients had carried the knowledge of light to that degree which it hath attained in thefe latter ages. As to the crmpoliti^n of the figures, it is cold J and feems to be rather treated in thf^ tafte of fculpture than with that heat of imagination of whi...ch painting i'; f jfceptible. Yet as fome of the figures are a little fore-fhorten- ed, we may f jppofc that art was car- ried farther by the able painters of thofe days. But nothing has been difcovered which determines, whe- ther the ancients knew the fine effed v/hich the richnefs and va- riety of ftufTs have in painting. We c^. N^ however, perceive that the manner of painting drapery in fmall folds, [ ^o5 ] folds, as pradifed in ilatuary, was not general among them, and that they had another manner more large and full.
