Did Shakespeare say that The Object of Art is to give Life a Shape but which is greater, the art or the artist’s shape? Perhaps the artist adds to the original with emphasis felt.

Pink flowers represent grace and elegance and are captured in paintings to communicate feelings.

Does the painting of a flower ever equal or surpass the original is not the question but instead, does the image add to what we had before?
