Part one is the first Portuguese treatise on the theory and practice of painting. In contrast to Italian texts on artistic theory, which define painting as the imitation of nature, Francisco's treatise, influenced by Neo-Platonism, develops a theory of the painter as an original creator guided by divine inspiration.
