Art Imitates Nature As Well As It Can, As A Pupil Follows His Maste

Art imitates nature as well as it can, as a pupil follows
his master; thus it is a sort of grandchild of God.
[ che l'arte vostra quella, quanto pote,
segue, come 'l maestro fa il discente;
si che vostr'arte a Dio quasi e' nepote. ]
-- Dante, "Inferno," Canto xi, l. 103-105.
