De arte graphica (1668) is the title of a Latin poem by Charles Alphonse du Fresnoy.
The poem embodied du Fresnoy's observations on the art of painting; it may be termed a critical treatise on the practice of the art, with general advice to students. The precepts are sound according to the standard of his time; the poetical merits slender enough. The Latin style is formed chiefly on Lucretius and Horace.
This poem was first published by Mignard, and has been translated into several languages. In 1668 it was turned into French by Roger de Piles; Dryden translated the work into English prose; and a rendering into verse by Mason followed, to which Sir Joshua Reynolds added some annotations.
The Sister Arts theory, as it was generally accepted in Fielding's lifetime, had been introduced in England by Dryden's translation, in 1695, of Charles Alphonse Du Fresnoy's treatise De arte graphica (1668). Dryden prefixed to his translation (Henry Fielding and William Hogart: The Correspondences of the Arts, Peter Jan De Voogd).
