Painting and Philosophy
( The Wisdom of Leonardo da Vinci )
The painter must be solitary and consider what he sees. He must converse with himself. He must select the quintessence of whatever he sees. He must act as a mirror that changes into as many colors as there are things placed before it; if he does this, he will be as a second Nature.
The painter who copies with his hand and his eye but without reason is like mirror which mechanically reflects everything placed before it.
