Titian

« All quotes from this author
 

Many artists, as Vasari likewise observes, have ignorantly imagined they are imitating the manner of Titian when they leave their colours rough, and neglect the detail: but not possessing the principles on which he wrought, they have produced what he calls goffe pitture, absurd, foolish pictures; for such will always be the consequence of affecting dexterity without science, without selection, and without fixed principles.
--
Sir Joshua Reynolds, in "The Eleventh Discourse", originally an address to the Royal Academy of Art (10 December 1782)
