第 103 頁 - ... work of the picture will not be seen any higher, therefore at a word he will not trouble the gentlemen against their inclination, but will beg the rest of his pictures back again...
第 190 頁 - The battle, already commenced, was necessary to add to the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and make the subject stand forth, but not to diminish it by saddening details. All such shadows I avoided, and presented nothing but a dismounted cannon, and some growing wheat which would never ripen. This was enough. The men and the Emperor are in the presence of each other. The soldiers cry to him that they are his, and the impressive Chief, whose Imperial will directs the masses that move around, salutes his...
第 133 頁 - An early access to a neighbouring painter drew my attention from play ; and I was, at every possible opportunity, employed in making drawings. I picked up an acquaintance of the same turn, and soon learnt to draw the alphabet with great correctness. My exercises, when at school, were more remarkable...
