CONSIDERATIONS UPON THE DESIGN OF RA-
PHAEL, CORREGGIO, AND TITIAN; AND UP-
ON THEIR INTENTIONS IN THE CHOICE OF
THE SAME.

RAPHAEL has not been always alike^ He
began alfo in the alphabet of the Art be-
fore he was able to express his ideas. He bad
however the happiness to be born in the time
of true innocence, and in the infancy of the Art ;
from whence he learnt in the beginning to imi
tate only pure truth; and this in time ac-
customed him to great exadness of the eye ;
which served him as a basis and foundation for
the magnificent edifice of his profession.
