Ad pulchritudinem tria requiruntur

These three principles are mentioned in the statement by St. Thomas Aquinas: "AD PULCHRITUDINEM TRIA REQUIRUNTUR: INTEGRITAS, CONSONANTIA, CLARITAS," (Three things are needed for beauty: wholeness, harmony and radiance).

Where can I find the original text where St. Thomas Aquinas developed this idea in the field of aesthetics?
