His Ma- " donnas enchant us, as Mengs observes, not " because 126 BEAUTY, GRACE, " because they possess the perfect lineaments " of the Medicean Venus or of the celebrated " daughter of Niobe, but because the painter in " their portraits and in their expressive smiles has " personified modesty, maternal love, purity of " mind, and in a word, grace itself. Nor did he " impress this character on the countenance alone, " but distributed it throughout the figure in its " attitude, gesture, and acti...on, and in the folds " of the drapery, with a dexterity which may be " admired but can never be surpassed. His free- " dom of execution was a component part of his " grace, which indeed vanishes as soon as labour " and study appear ; for it is with the painter as " with the orator, in whom a natural and spon- taneous eloquence delights us, while we turn " away with indifference from an artificial and " studied harangue. " Grace should be extended to expression. A figure, a statue, or a plant may stand gracefully, or they may be moved or represent motion grace- fully, AND EXPRESSION.
