The principal figure of the subject must appear in the midst of the picture, under the chief light, to distinguish it from the rest. The remark comes from Fresnoy, and illustrates the biography it opens. My object was to present a picture, historical and domestic, in which the strongest lights should fall on one figure Bishop Taylor; some of his most illustrious forerunners, contemporaries, and successors being grouped around him representatives of that majestic company of devout and learned men, With beaming eye, That lifted, speaks its commerce with the sky, who adorned our Church and literature during two hundred years.
