Plutarchus maeckt insgelijkcks een merckelick onderscheyd tusschen de voorgemelde Gratie en dese onbedwongen schijnlosse stoutvaerdigheyd van de welcke wy alhier aenghevanghen hebben te spreken; De ghedichten van Antimachus, segt hy {In Timoleonte.}, mitsgaeders oock de tafereelen van Dionysius, ghelijckse een gheweldigh stercke kracht der Konste in sich hebben, soo schijnense al te seer bedwonghen ende bearbeydt te sijn. Men kan dit daer en teghen in de Schilderijen van Nicomachus als oock in de ghedichten van Homerus, benevens d’andere deughden en gratien diemen daer in vindt, aenmercken, datse vaerdighlick en gantsch ghemackelick schijnen ghedaen te sijn. Soo word dan de bevalligheyd der Schilderijen bevalligher gemaeckt wanneer men in de selvighe een gemackelicke vaerdigheyd verneemt, ontstaende uyt d’opwellende kracht der Inventie die uyt de volle borst des moedighen Konstenaers, als uyt eenen rijcken springhader, overvloedighlick uytbortelt.

[Suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] Plutarchus likewise makes a clear difference between the aforementioned Grace and the unconstrained apparently loose boldness of which we have initiated to speak here; The poems of Antimachus, he says {…}, just like the paintings of Dionysius, as they have a great strong power of Art in them, as such they appear to be too mincing and affected. One can however discern in the Paintings of Nicomachus as well as in the poems of Homerus, that they appear to have been made competently and rather easily, next to the other virtues and graces that one can find in them. As such the gracefulness of paintings is made more graceful when one discern an easy competence in it, originating in the surging power of the Invention that comes forth from the chest of brave Artists, like from a rich source.
