"Me preguntas qué tiene más merito en Arte, si crear una forma nueva o perfeccionar una vieja.

Pienso que el inventor, esto es, Giotto o Leonardo, es infinitamente superior al mejor Tintoretto, y el D.H.Lawrence original más importante que cualquier Steinbeck".

"Delacroix es el primer colorista de Francia y tan colorista como Tintoretto o Veronés,pero desgraciadamente su dibujo es miserable, su estilo nulo y chocarrero; así y todo es tan bello, tan rico su colorido que todo se le puede perdonar"

Federico de Madrazo a su padre José,1853

Tintoretto’s Finding of Moses, from the Met in New York. Depictions of this scene were especially popular in Venice, as it echoes the birth of the City. Interestingly, a Perugino ‘finding’ was destroyed in the Vatican around 1530 when they told an aging sculptor to paint over it!
