The excellency of this extraordinary man lay in the propriety, beauty, and majesty of his characters, his judicious contrivance of hiscomposition, correctness of drawing, purity of taste, and the skilfulaccommodation of other men's conceptions to his own purpose. Nobodyexcelled him in that judgment, with which he united to his ownobservations on nature the energy of Michael Angelo, and the beauty andsimplicity of the antique. To the question, therefore, which ought tohold the first rank, Raffae...lle or Michael Angelo, it must be answered, that if it is to be given to him who possessed a greater combination ofthe higher qualities of the art than any other man, there is no doubt butRaffaelle is the first. But if, according to Longinus, the sublime, being the highest excellence that human composition can attain to, abundantly compensates the absence of every other beauty, and atones forall other deficiencies, then Michael Angelo demands the preference.
These two extraordinary men carried some of the higher excellences of theart to a greater degree of perfection than probably they ever arrived atbefore.
