Wikipedia definition
1. Ut pictura poesisUt pictura poesis is Latin, literally "As is painting so is poetry. " The statement (often repeated) occurs most famously in Horace's Ars Poetica, near the end, immediately after the "other" most famous quotation from Horace's treatise on poetics, "bonus dormitat Homerus", or "even Homer nods" (an indication that even the most skilled poet can compose inferior verse): Poetry resembles painting.
