FRESCO PAINTING.
Treatise,” (as Sig. Ticozzi styles it), “ De Veri Precetti della Pittura,'
was published.—Abridged from Ticozzi's Introduction to the “ Veri
Precetti.”
DIRECTIONS AND OBSERVATIONS.
Of the great importance of making the Cartoons properly.— Of the
use and effects of the Cartoons.—In what manner and with what
material they are made.—Which are the most expeditious and easy
ways of making them.—How they are traced and pounced on to
the work without being damaged; and how they are imitated in the
picture.—From Book II. Chap. VI. of the “ Veri Precetti della
Pittura.”
Of the use and effect of cartoons.—We have now to treat
of cartoons, which among us are considered as the most perfect
mode in which, by our skill in design, we are able to express the
whole force of the art, and which, to those who set about them in a
proper manner, and with diligence, and who are careful and
industrious in finishing them, are so useful for the works which they
have to execute, that what afterwards remains to be done, appears
to give but little trouble. For the sketches, designs, natural models,
and in short, all the other labours which the artist had previously
undergone, were for the sole use and purpose of uniting them
properly together on the surface of the cartoon ; and to speak the
truth, in order to reprove those who care little to do this, or who,
if they do set about it, do it carelessly; for in a well-finished
cartoon, it will be observed, that even the most difficult part of
every object is pourtrayed, so that by following the outlines, we work
without any chance of error, by means of a perfect example and
model of all that we intend to do; in fact we may call it the wTork
itself, except for the tints; and hence we see that Michael Angelo,
Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Perino,a Daniello,b and other excellent
a Perino del Vaga, (Pierino Buonacorsi), was considered by Vasari the first
of the Florentine School, after Michael Angelo, in design, and the best of those
who assisted Raffaello. He died in 1547. Lanzi. Vol 1. p. 142. Vol. II. p.
76, 87, 257. Vol. V. p. 243. Vasari.—Ed.
b Daniele di Volterra (Ricci arelli) imitated Michael Angelo, by whom it
is said he was sometimes assisted in his designs. See Lanzi. Vol. I. p. 124,
