[1] "Veri Precetti della Pittura," p. 123.
NOTE L L.--Par. 919.
The notion which the author has here ventured to express may have been suggested by the remarkable passage in the last canto of Dante's "Paradiso"--
"Nella profonda e chiara sussistenza,
Dell' alto lume parremi tre giri
Di tre colori e d'una continenza," &c.
After the concluding paragraph the author inserts a letter from a landscape-painter, Philipp Otto Runge, which is intended to show that those who imitate nature may arrive at principles analogous to those of the "Farbenlehre."
THE END.
