"They were eclectics and sought to combine the purity of the ancients and of Raphael, the knowledge of Michelangelo, the richness and the exuberance of the Venetian school, especially of Paolo Veronese, and the gaiety of the Lombard brush in Correggio."--"Essay on the Beautiful in Art" (1763) by Johann Joachim Winckelmann
