“
The science of painting extends to all the colors of the surfaces of bodies, and to the shapes of the bodies enclosed by those surfaces… [Painting] with philosophic and subtle speculations considers all the qualities of forms… Truly this is science, the legitimate daughter of nature, because painting is born of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
