It is here reproduced, failing an illustration of the original picture, which the authorities in Venice decline to have made. Archivio Storico, vi. 409. Ridolfi tells us Giorgione painted, among a long list of decorative pieces, "The Birth of Adonis," "Venus and Adonis embracing," and "Adonis killed by the Boar." It is possible he was alluding to these very cassone panels.
I must not omit to qualify Vasari's praise of Luca Signorelli, by reference to a letter recently published from the Archivio Buonarroti, Lettere a Diversi, p. 391.
The subterranean vaults of S. Peter's contain mere fragments of tombs, some precious as historical records, some valuable as works of art, swept together pell-mell from the ruins of the old basilica. See the original letter to Ammanati, published from the Archivio Buonarroti, by Signor Milanesi, p. 535. I am far from meaning that the earlier architects had not been guided by ancient authors.
But much good music is quite beyond the reach of the public Palestrina's best motetts, airs by Alessandro Stradella, the famous hymn of Raimondi, in short a great musical library, an 'archivio' as the Romans call such a collection, all of which is practically lost to the world. It is wonderful that under such circumstances the choir of Saint Peter's should obtain even such creditable results.
For the essay on the Italian Renaissance on the Elizabethan Stage, I have had recourse, chiefly, to the fifteenth century chronicles in the "Archivio Storico Italiano," and to Dyce's Webster, Hartley Coleridge's Massinger and Ford, Churton Collins' Cyril Tourneur, and J.O. Halliwell's Marston.
It is noticeable that while his sermon lasted and the great bell of S. Lorenzo went on tolling, no man could be taken or imprisoned in the city of Perugia. See Vespasiano, Vite di Uomini Illustri, pp. 185-92. Graziani, Archivio Storico, vol. xvi. part i. pp. 313, 314. The same city was the scene of many similar displays.
Thanks to excavations at the base of the tower made by Com. Giacomo Boni, at the request of Mr. C. H. Blackall, of Boston, U. S. A., in the year 1885, a report of which was printed in the Archivio Veneto, we possess some accurate knowledge about a portion of the foundation upon which this enormous mass rested.
It may be worth adding that while reading in the Archivio Buonarroti, I discovered two letters from a friend named Piero Paesano addressed to Michelangelo on January 1, 1530, and April 21, 1532, both of which speak of his having "fled from Florence."
"Archivio," vol. vi. p. 398. "F. L. Journal," vol. vi. p. 33; "Archivio," vol. ix. p. 233 Grohmann, p. 112. Grohmann, pp. 29, 289, 296, 298; Müller, p. 83. See Thorpe's translation of the story, "Yule Tide Stories," p. 475. Dennys, p. 98; Giles, vol. ii. pp. 89 note, 85; Brauns, p. 366. Map, Dist. i. c. 11. But see below, p. 234.
Vivacity, gentleness, and amiability are the qualities which all Lucretia's contemporaries discovered in her. This animated and delicate face, with large blue eyes, and surrounded with golden hair, suggests the ethereal beauty of Shakespeare's Imogene. Letter to her husband, Ferrara, February 2d, in the Archivio Storico Ital. App. ii, 305. Ordine di le pompe e spectaculi di le noze de mad.
