Professional Essays - Finish


Finish in an imitative work implies the accurate and true relation of each quality to its neighbour. In painting, the finish which is at once most in the style of the art and most difficult is the nice calculation of each hue on that next to it. This is called fineness of colouring, but it is in fact nothing more or less than that truth which the art proposes. [p. 323]
