Mary appears to have just risen from her chair, the Child bends from her arms, and a young and very little angel, standing on tiptoe, holds up to him a flower other flowers in his lap: a beautiful old German print. Giulio Romano. John pours water upon him from a vase, while Mary washes him. St. Elizabeth stands by, holding a napkin; St. Joseph, behind, is looking on.

Truly Adrian is one of the most grotesque and significant figures upon the page of modern history. His personal worth, his inadequacy to the needs of the age, and his incompetence to control the tempest loosed by Della Roveres, Borgias, and Medici around him, give the man a tragic irony. After his death, upon the 23rd of September 1523, the Cardinal Giulio de' Medici was made Pope.
He had made several designs and various models for it, and had sought to gain the favour of Pope Leo and of Cardinal Giulio de' Medici, saying that the David had many defects caused by the sculptor Maestro Andrea, who had first blocked it out and spoiled it.

"Ah, the pity of it the pity of it!" Fra Giulio had exclaimed. "They should show mercy he is still so young a man!" "Ay, young enough to need much discipline," bravely muttered a friar who dared to disbelieve in their prodigy. "Silence!" commanded Father Gianmaria, who was now the Superior, in a stentorian tone; for within these walls there was no appeal from his judgment or his temper.
That is why I am here to establish his innocence." "And if I were to tell you that he was innocent I should condemn myself!" laughed the crafty old man. "Look here, Giulio," said Benton. "I confess that I have long ago regretted the shabby manner in which I treated you when we were all in Brussels, and I hope you will allow me to make some little amend."
"Thou art summoned; they are calling thee," said Fra Giulio, close beside him, in a low, hard voice that changed to one more compassionate as the friar turned his livid face toward him. "I know not thy fault, but Fra Paolo will plead for thee; for thou art ill, verily." "Fra Paolo is no man of mercy." "Nay, but of justice. He will not remember thy discourtesies."
