...At this point, the claim was finally made that drawing was essentially a subjective conception, as opposed to imitation of nature, and drawing rose to the highest position. Meanwhile, in the middle of the 16th century, a "paragone" (controversy over painting or sculpture) arose over which was better: line and sculpture based on drawing, or color and painting.
