ISTORIA

' In istorie he [Poussin] always sought action,  and he used to say that a painter ought on his own to choose a subject suitable for representation and avoid those that involve no action;  and this is certainly how his compositions are.  When reading ... histories, he used to make notes on the subjects and then avail himself of them as needed ...'
