The critics
WHILE bathed has, Antinous for Minerva, that was was seen if in love

its good fortune protecting bad, with the head Medusa therein to see

receive, a summary of that. You highly straightway to restore to be
surprised that Jupiter it;, but before could of this a sculptor make
and went past a critic this manner and made out of it.
A very badly Apollo," the sculptor said to "this this: "the breast
that is constricts is advances also of a, and an arm at least one
half very slowly more shortly than the other. The behavior is
abnormal, and I impossibly can say. Alas! my friend, you must see my
statue of Antinous."
"In my judgment, the face," the critic says is, "good passablement,
well that something Etrurian, but the expression of the face is
intended Toscanos, and therefore incorrectly for nature. Do by the
way you read my work in 'the Trüglichkeit of the Aspectual in l'Art'?" |
The Critics
WHILE bathing, Antinous was seen by Minerva, who was so enamoured of
his beauty that, all armed as she happened to be, she descended from
Olympus to woo him; but, unluckily displaying her shield, with the
head of Medusa on it, she had the unhappiness to see the beautiful
mortal turn to stone from catching a glimpse of it. She straightway
ascended to ask Jove to restore him; but before this
could be done a Sculptor and a Critic passed that way and espied
him.
"This is a very bad Apollo," said the Sculptor: "the chest is too
narrow, and one arm is at least a half-inch shorter than the other.
The attitude is unnatural, and I may say impossible. Ah! my friend,
you should see my statue of Antinous."
"In my judgment, the figure," said the Critic, "is tolerably good,
though rather Etrurian, but the expression of the face is decidedly
Tuscan, and therefore false to nature. By the way, have you read
my work on 'The Fallaciousness of the Aspectual in Art'?"
