"It is no more necessary to prove that painting is an art than it is to show that the sun has light. In addition to its own greatness, there is no liberal art that does not need it in order to express itself in terms of lines, circles, and figures. This can be seen in Philosophy, in the Meno of Plato and the problems of Aristotle, and in grammar, perspective, rhetoric, geography, arithmetic, astrology, anatomy, fortification, architecture, and military art, and even in the philosophy of physical combat."
