Aut quid sibi statuae et imagines variis artibus effigiatae volunt? Nisi forte quod artificio elaboratum laudabile habetur, hoc natura oblatum culpabile iudicandum est, cum sit in ea vel magis miranda et facilitas et similitudo.
Otherwise, what is the point of statues and pictures reproduced by this or that art? Unless perhaps something is considered laudable if it is the laborious product of skill, and culpable if the free gift of Nature; and yet Nature has even more amazing quickness and accuracy than skill.
