(1) to make a lifelike natural representation of a thing (used of the artist); (2) to be lifelike (of a work of art).

Etymology:

  • veritas means not merely truth (opp. mendacium), but also reality (opp. opinio, imitatio). Thus we often find the combination res et veritas ipsa (Tusc. 5. 5. 13), natura rerum et ipsa veritas.
