When Gozzoli painted if the story be true he had only candle light: the window over the altar is new. But think of candle light being all the illumination of these walls as the painter worked!

What was the opinion of Spain? My voucher for that opinion is the dispatch from Sir W.

Equally lucrative was a dash into Tuscany.
