Non tabulas pennellus eas formasse videtur
Sed magis apparet natura fuisse magistra,
Ac viva de carne merus color esse putatur,
Quis fuerit rerum pictor vel sculptor earum
Nescio, sed forsan magnus fuit author Apelles,
Cuius progeniae noster Mantinea venit,
De quo, sicut apud serraffi scripta catatur,
Maximus alter erit pictor Mantegna vocatus,
Gentibus e Paduae, quem parvum nostra vocabit
Mantua, desegni mirum fictique coloris.
Qui sub Francisco Turco cognomine vivet,
Atque triumphantis depinget Caesaris actus,
Ars ubi pictorum veterum perfecta trovatur.
Post quem succedet mirabilis ille Michael
Angelus, e Raphael, quos non ars, imo docebit
Ipsa parens natura leves tirare penellos.
