One type of face for eachclass of art-representation is enough. Let our effort be to representbeauty by the perfect drawing of the body in repose and in action, andby chosen attitudes and types. Let our composition follow certainguiding lines and rules, in accordance with whose harmonies all picturesshall be made. We will follow the Greek; compose as he did, and by hisprinciples; and for that purpose make a scientific study of the body ofman; observing in all painting, sculpture, and architectu...re the generalforms and proportions that ancient art, after many experiments, selectedas the best. And, to match that, we must have perfect drawing in all wedo. " This great change, which, as art's adulterous connection with sciencedeepened, led to such unhappy results, Browning represents, when its aimhad been reached, in his poem, _Andrea del Sarto_; and he tellsus--through Andrea's talk with his wife Lucretia--what he thought of it;and what Andrea himself, whose broken life may have opened his eyes tothe truth of things, may himself have thought of it.
