< A Treatise on Painting
Chap. CCV.—Of Outlines of Objects on the Side towards the Light.
The extremities of any object on the side which receives the light, will appear darker if upon a lighter ground, and lighter if seen upon a darker ground. But if such body be flat, and seen upon a ground equal in point of light with itself, and of the same colour, such boundaries, or outlines, will be entirely lost to the sight[1].
