WHY BEAUTIFUL COLOURS MUST BE IN THE HIGHEST LIGHT.
Since we see that the quality of colour is known only by means of
light, it is to be supposed that where there is most light the true

most shadow the colour will be affected by the tone of that. Hence,
O Painter! remember to show the true quality of colours in bright
lights.
