Below that, Legend, Myth, Allegory, Dreams, Paraphrases of great poets, and finally all lyricism, preferring the work of a mural character as being of a superior essence.

For the sake of clarity, here are the subjects that will be welcome, even if the execution were imperfect:

1. Catholic dogma and Italian themes from Margharitone Margaritone d'Arezzo, a 13th-century Italian painter known for his Byzantine-influenced style. to Andréa Sacchi A 17th-century High Baroque painter from Rome.;

2. The interpretation of Oriental theogonies accounts of the origins of the gods, except those of the yellow races;

3. Allegory, whether expressive, such as "Modesty and Vanity," or decorative, like the work of Puvis de Chavannes Pierre Puvis de Chavannes was a major muralist whose simplified, flat style was deeply admired by the Symbolists.;

4. The nu sublimé sublimated nude, the nude in the style of Primatice Francesco Primaticcio, of Corrège Correggio, or heads of expression in the style of Leonardo or Michelangelo.

The same rule applies to sculpture.

Ionic harmony, Gothic subtlety, and the intensity of the Renaissance will be equally welcomed.

The following are rejected: historical, patriotic, contemporary, and picturesque sculpture, which is to say, sculpture that only presents the body in motion without expression of the soul. No bust will be received, except by special exemption.
