HISTORY OF „PAINTINO.—.-I t:O
I is •t„ , be
supplied that peinting was among the earliest ef
forts of human ingenuity; for the love of imitation
would naturally suggest' the idea of representing
the surrounding objects which engaged the alien.
'lien and interested the affections. - Thus it is that
the savages painted their own bodies, brmeane of
,puncturing the skin, and infusing different colors
linto the punctures, and that they painted on their
shields di ff erent figures according to the fancy of
the bearer. So, likewise, we find that the Mexi
cans were in the habit of representing their war
like exploits by means of picture-writing, which
I was something similar to the hieroglyphics of the
Egyptians; that served to represent sacred objects
for religions pur&b. The first step beyond the
rode outline was skattempt to complete the imi•
tation by aPplyinifefilors.whickat first was effect
ed by covering the different parts of the figure with
different colors, after the manner of our.colored
maps, Its was done by the Egyptians, and is still
practiCed by the Indians and Chinese.
Painting was partially cultivated by the Egyp
tians, but was not carried to any perfection, be
cause they principally employed themselves in the
representation of the monstrous of of their
worship, rather than depicturiog natural or real
objects; in consequence, their natural figures were
very stiff and unseemly, the legs being drawn to
tether, and the arras pasted to the sides, like the
mummies which they copied.. Their painters were
likewise very much employed on earthen vessels
en drinking cups, or In ornamenting barges, and
covering with figurcs'the chests of mummies.—
Pliny also informs us that the Egyptians painted '
the precious metals, which doubtlesceonsisted in
covering gold or silver with a single color. The
Persians as well as the Arabians, had some idea of
mosaic; but the art was cultivated by those pea ,
pie principally for dimestic purposes. Among the
Indiane,--painting is Confined principally to the
representation of their idols and monstrous objects
of worship; but the painters of Thibet aro remark
able fur the delicacy of their strokes, in which they
might vie with the Greeks, although deficient in
'every other particular. The Chinese are, remark
able fur Om brightness of their celery, but this is'
the , oidy perfection they can boast of.. Their fig- -
urea we as unlike nature as possible, devoid of ex-',
pression and of piopertion. The Etrutiens were
the first people who appear to have excelled in
this art. Many specimens of Etruscan paintings
have,bcen preserved, which consist of long paint.
ed friezes, and pilasters adorned with huge figures.
The paintings are executed on -a ground of thick
mortar, and many of them are said to be in a high
• state of preservation. There are likewise many
Campanian vases extant, which aro wonderful
proofs of the perfection of the art at a very early
yeriod among these people. As to the origin of
painting among the Greeks, it is not easy to define
the period of its commencement. The Cheeks
themselves, according to Pliny, speak of Polygnute
as their first painter of eminence,wbo flourished in
the 00th Olympiad, 0r'.124 years before Christ.—
That painting in dry colors existed in the time of
'Homer, is certain from several descriptions to be
found in his Iliad and Odyssey ; from the same
soiree we also learn that they were then acquaint
ed with basso relieve, of which the heckler of
Achilles was a specimen. Polygnote was followed
by Xenxis and Perrhasies, 'whose skill in imitation
