arte: imitate/CORRECT? nature

A statue can CORRECT or supersede nature!?

Alberti admired of the Greeeks:

we see statues of the commanders -- in pediments to temples -- in four-house chariots, -- "so similar to one another that we might claim" (but we won't) "that NATURE herself has been surpassed" -- "since NEVER in her own works do we see SO MUCH AS ONE NOSE identical to another."
