What is meant by art?-The art faculty-How artists may be compared-The aim of illumination-Distinction between illumination and miniature-Definition of illumination-The first miniature painter-Origin of the term miniature-Ovid's allusion to his little book. The desire for decoration is probably as old as the human race. Nature, of course, is the source of beauty, and this natural beauty affects something within us which has or is the faculty of reproducing the cause of its emotion in a material form. Whether the reproduction be such as to appeal to the eye or the ear depends on the cast of the faculty. In a mild or elementary form, probably both casts of faculty exist in every animated creature, and especially in the human being.
