The only hope for painting lies in the revival of the image. It may already be too late and there may be no future, for the image demands an underlying mastery of drawing and the convincing communication of all those qualities that were made to seem so easy half way through the Italian Renaissance six centuries ago. The urge to paint is as strong an instinct as ever, but those who teach have abandoned the necessary skills and disciplines, and the patronage of the church and stage that nourished so many works of genius is now moribund. If painting is ever to triumph, then painters must recover skills that for centuries were commonplace, and find subjects that have something of the once universal moral weight of the Bible, the old mythologies and history.
