To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Like Saturn and his ring, this sphere within the circle is typical of harmony in unity, and for this reason, though detached as we know it to be, it has a greater completeness than though joined to a body. It is on this general principle that all circular compositions are based — absorp- tion of the attention within the circuit. In Tintoretto's "Marriage of Bacchus and Ariadne," the floating figure offers us a shock not quite relieved when we recall the epoch of its production or concede the cu...stomary license [95] PICTORIAL COMPOSITION to mythology. At a period in art when angels were employed through a composition as a stage manager would scatter supernumeraries — ^to fill gaps or create masses — in any posture which the conditions of the picture demanded, it is not strange that the artist conceived this figure sus- pended from above in an arc of a circle, if in these lines it served his purpose. In this shape it completes a circuit in the figures, fills the space which would otherwise open a wide escape for the vision, and, by the union of the three heads, joins the figures in the centre of the canvas, com- pleting, with the legs of Ariadne, five radial lines from this focus.
