[307] Adriaen van Ostade, 1610-1685.
[308] He means painting, of course. He never passed beyond the stage of the average amateur.
[309] Spiel von Scheinen. The play of appearance, that is, as it strikes on different natures.
[310] Malerischen Auffassung. Here the ideas on mental conception and artistic composition seem to be combined. But Hegel is rather loose in his use of them.
[311] Hegel has doubtless Albrecht Dürer and yet earlier German art in his mind.
[312] Die besonderen Bestimmungen. The lines of its definite exposition.
[313] I adopt Hegel's generic term. But he means here little more than delineation or composition.

[315] Geistig. We may say the same thing of Tintoret's great Golden Calf picture. But the objection to the composition as a work of art remains more strongly than is the case with Raphael's picture.
[316] The same thing is a characteristic of Tintoret's Annunciation in the S. Rocco Scuola and several pictures of Dürer.
