«La peinture est le métier le plus long et le plus difficile. Il lui faut l’érudition comme au compositeur, mais il lui faut aussi l’exécution comme au violon.» (Delacroix, Journal 1822-1863 French edition by PLON)
We can translate this as:
«Painting is the longest and hardest profession. It needs eruditions as for a composer, but its also needs execution as for a violinist. » (from Delacroix's diary)
