Excerpt from The Romance of Sandro Botticelli Woven From His Paintings He who would write the account of a Tuscan of the Quattrocento will find that there are two just courses open to him: he may compile a scientific record of bare facts and contemporary references, without a word of comment, or else he may tell his story in the guise of fiction. The common practice of writing a serious book, rooted on solid facts, and blossoming out into the author's personal deductions as to character and motives, is a monstrous injustice - the more authoritative the style, the worse the crime - for who can judge the character and motives of even a contemporary?
