Excerpt from Les Beaux-Arts Illustrés: La Musique, le Dessin, la Peinture, la Sculpture, la Gravure Et l'Architecture

Une académie savamment peinte a autant de droits à devenir un précieux tableau de cabinet qu'un ouvrage de tout autre genre. Les uns et les autres doivent être de belles et fidèles images de la nature, qui servent de modèle, de préceptes sensibles de l'art, et indiquent a quel degré de perfection il a été porté.
