contrast (v.) Copy link
Outline
• contrast (v.):
  1. A. Trans.: confĕro, compăro, contendo: as, c. the licentiousness of the one with the temperance of the other, confer hujus libidines cum illius continentia, Cic.: v. compare.

• CONTRAST
1.
  • In painting, architecture, etc., asperitas (relief; sharp contrast; opposed to monotonous smoothness; e.g., cum aspectus ejus scenae propter asperitatem eblandiretur omnium visus, Vitr., 7, 5; ut aspectus propter asperitatem intercolumniorum haberet auctoritatem, Id., 3, 3). To form a pleasing contrast, propter asperitatem omnium visus eblandiri, or habere auctoritatem: *grata quadam asperitate placere [Kraft gives from Doer., res inter se pugnantes, contrariae invicem se excipiunt or mire occurrunt, which is not very happy].

There is too strong a contrast of colours, colores nimis inter se discrepant.
  • Striking dissimilitude, diversitas: discrepantia: dissimilitudo: mira quaedam dissimilitudo: distantia (e.g., between characters, morum: pursuits, etc., studiorum). A striking contrast, mira diversitas (e.g., naturae). To form a contrast with anything, alicui rei repugnare; cum aliqua re pugnare, or discrepare, or multum discrepare: a striking contrast, ab aliqua re abhorrere.

2. v. TR., [Vid. COMPARE, INTR.] differre (multum): discrepare (inter se; cum aliqua re, a aliqua re; also in re, in any respect).
