Let the painter composing narrative pictures take pleasure in wealth and variety, and avoid repeating any part that occurs in it, so that the uniqueness and abundance attract people to it and delight the eye of the observer.

Perspective is to painting what the bridle is to the horse, the rudder to a ship.
Of the horse I will say nothing because I know the times.
