Dante on Art




Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master;

thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild.

Beauty awakens the soul to act.

Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal.

Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories,
and still your eyes are on the ground.

Nature is the art of God.

- Quotes by Dante Alighieri
