ART CRITICISM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: First bring me raffael, who alone hath seen
Last Line: On one warm sunset of ausonian claude.
Subject(s): Art & Artists; Paintings & Painters


FIRST bring me Raffael, who alone hath seen
In all her purity heaven's virgin queen,
Alone hath felt true beauty; bring me then
Titian, ennobler of the noblest men;
And next the sweet Correggio, nor chastise
His little Cupids for those wicked eyes.
I want not Rubens's pink puffy bloom,
Nor Rembrandt's glimmer in a dusty room.
With those, and Poussin's nymph-frequented
woods,
His templed heights and long-drawn solitudes,
I am content, yet fain would look abroad
On one warm sunset of Ausonian Claude.
