LEONARDO DA VINCI ON BEING AN ARTIST

LEONARDO DA VINCI



1.

It reflects no great honour on a painter to be able to execute one thing well.


2.

That painter who has no doubts will achieve little.


3.

Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgement of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.


4.

Study the science of art and the art of science.


5.

Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.
