the Pisan Campo Santo, attributed to the Orcagnas. The Greek and Italian painters flourished in very similar stages of art; when considerable perfection had been attained in the delineation of the human figure, and in expression, but when there were still many technical defects, and especially in perspective.
Pausanias, who in general is very chary of descrip- tions, has fortunately given us long accounts of the pic- tures of Polygnotus, from which I h...ave here selected the following traits. They were in the Lesche l at Delphi, and so large that they filled the whole building. The subjects were taken partly from Homer, partly from the cyclic poets; and hence, as the characters were not generally known, Polygnotus had inscribed their names above them. This, in the case of a proper name, does not show that the art was bad, as it would in the case of a generic object; and indeed we meet with the prac- tice in some of the most beautiful bas-reliefs of later ages.
