Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, Vol. 5 of 5: Translated From the Italian of Giorgio Vasari, With Notes and Illustrations, Chiefly Selected Form German and Italian Commetators Although it appears to be in a certain sort impossible that he who studiously imitates and carefully pursues the footsteps of some excellent master in our arts, should fail to become very nearly similar, at least in certain points, to the person thus imitated, yet we have very frequently to remark that the sons and brothers of distinguished men do but rarely equal their forerunners; nay, rather, that they do wonderfully degenerate from the same; and this is not, as I believe, because the qualities of their blood have failed to inspire them with the same readiness of mind and an equal amount of genius, but comes rather from a totally different cause - from the too perfect ease and enjoyment secured to them namely, and from that abundance of possessions and indulgences which but too often prevents men from being zealous in their studies and diligent in the labours of their art. Yet I will not affirm this rule to be so entirely without exception, as to preclude the occasional occurrence of the contrary.
