Note 648 — V 1706-1816

Such woodenness was unlikely to appreciate El Greco’s pictures. In the preface to his Agriparia (Theatro, vol. v, 1804) he speaks of a extravagancia do vaidoso Domenico, herein following Faria e Sousa, who calls Theotocopuli the Góngora of painters and adds: Pero vale más una llaneza del Ticiano que todas sus extravagancias juntas por mas que ingeniosas (Fuente de Aganipe Prólogo, § 37).
