"Everyone knows that this art is also highly respected in our times, for no church exists without the decoration of some noble painting honoring God or the saints. Painting cannot be given any greater praise than to say that Christ himself used it: he made a portrait of his own face in the veil of the virgin St. Veronica and left an image of his whole body, front and back, on a shroud now in the possession of His Serene Highness the Duke of Savoy. Everyone knows that St. Luke was a painter and engraver, executing, in both arts, many works . . ."
– from chapter six of Giovan Paolo Lomazzo's Idea of the Temple of Painting (1590), edited and translated by Jean Julia Chai (Pennsylvania State University Press, 2013)
