N CONSIDERING HOW A
painter have carries on his work, I have had a notion to imitate him.
He chooses the best place in the middle of each wall to put there a picture elaborated with all his skill; and the space all around he fills up with grotesques, which are fantastic paintings, having no charm but in their variety and oddness. What else indeed are these writings, as a matter of fact, but grotesques and monstrous shapes, patched together of diverse limbs, without any exact figure, having no order, arrangement, or other than a haphazard
proportion?
