Определение sprezzatura в Английский Язык Английский Язык словарь

The art of performing a difficult task so gracefully, that it looks effortless

have found quite a universal rule which in this matter seems to me valid above all others, and in all human affairs whether in word or deed: and that is to avoid affectation in every way possible as though it were some very rough and dangerous reef; and (to pronounce a new word perhaps) to practice in all things a certain Sprezzatura , so as to conceal all art and make whatever is done or said appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it.

(Edebiyat) Studied carelessness, especially in art or literature
