Excerpt from Chapters in European History, Vol. 2 of 2: With an Introductory Dialogue on the Philosophy of History
The name of Michael Angelo, if not the greatest in art - an unfruitful question which I gladly pass by - is assuredly the greatest among artists. For his greatness is riot merely derivative, a reflection from statue and painting cherished among the choicest treasures of the human race. It was a remark of Victoria Colonna, "Those who admire Michael Angelo's works, admire but the smallest part of him;" the merely aesthetic spectator or technical critic misses their highest lessons.
