520 2 # $a The dialogue takes place between a Venetian and a Tuscan. Remarks on feminine beauty lead to a discussion on beauty as intermediate between art and nature, the need for rules of perspective and proportion, the status of painting as a liberal art, based on the nobility of drawing (disegno). Painting is said to consist of disegno, inventione and colore. The Venetian praises the handling of colour by Giorgione and Titian, and argues for the superiority of painting over sculpture.

The book is adorned with a title-page vignette (representing an eagle, the device of bookseller Paolo Gerardo) and three decorated initials.
