The culte of incompetence: Roland Freart de Chambray

I confess that this title isn’t mine but I have took it from Emile Faguet(1847-1916), French literary critic that describes very fit the incompetence of some critic, through a critical retrospectivity we can picked the incompetence and the absolutely ignorance of other French, Roland Freart de Chambray(1606-1676), a French treat writer author of Idea of perfection of painting, that would be laughable if he wasn’t serious, because, I think has studied very much to tell these cucks up, we can begin with these prophetic words and I advise that we must read very well, because it is a scientific proof of human intellectual degeneration: “I suppose that every art has his principle, and whose is necessary the acknowledge to whom want make the job of artist…”, because if somebody want be a surgeon can operate without acknowledges, same exercise to the architect, engineer and police man and other, and after these saint cuck up her followed: “…we can hope of some progress in art, without a perfect acknowledge of its principles, that are of a very sublime contemplation, above all the perspective and the geometry, because lacking it the painting can’t exists.”; sincerely more read this author and more I search a capital pain for this idiot, may thrown among crocodiles, but I am dread that they would throw back, because, rightly, would say; he is a human and you have made it, hence you must solve this problem, otherwise we have to call the PETA. Fréart de Chambray naturally follows with his fantasies: “Those ancient painters…”, what is mystery, a name and paintings is necessary, but we would be to ask too much, and following: “…that has brought the painting to highest level of its perfection…they followed in their painting five parts, that are its fundamental principles…”; evidently Fréart de Chambray has seen and studies these painting that we can’t see but he has seen, but the name of painting, it is too much? He mentioned the name of a treatise writer Francois Junius(1591-1677), author of De pictura veterum, a collection of poetical steps and the painting representation, absolutely useless, hence very sit to Fréart de Chambray, that regard to invention explain something that we would not understand without this author: “About the invention. The invention, of the genius of paint a history, and have a idea about the subject that we want paint, it is the natural talent, that we can’t reached neither fro study nor for work, it is the fire of intellect…”; some body should remember to Fréart that Michelangelo(1475 –1564), he being a sculptor had very scant experience with painting and in fact were moulds for frescos technical, therefore the experience is necessary, it is obvious, but among very much cocks up one more is a number alone. Other information on this painting exercise: “About the proportion. About the proportion, this is the symmetry, and correspondence of every part, it is very easy a every brain can make it…the man can learn it without toil but alone following the geometry…”, but I think that we can also follow the widow of kill that some body, after the read of Fréart de Chambray, has decided to kill him, with advise that he don’t will shoot to forehead, because it would a bullet useless. Anyway Fréart de Chambray is necessary to understand how we don’t must write a treat.
