The next palace you build we shall see you trying to put the Frate's doctrine into stone." "That is a goodly show of cavaliers," said Tito, who had learned by this time the best way to please Florentines; "but are there not strangers among them? I see foreign costumes."
The Frate in the torn mantle had said that help would certainly come, and many of the faint-hearted were clinging more to their faith in the Frate's word, than to their faith in the virtues of the unseen Image. But there were not a few of the fierce-hearted who thought with secret rejoicing that the Frate's word might be proved false. Slowly the tabernacle moved forward, and knees were bent.
There has not been a change since the Quaresima, either in Rome or at Florence, but has put a new seal on the Frate's words that the harvest of sin is ripe, and that God will reap it with a sword." "I hope he has had a new vision, however," said Francesco Cei, sneeringly. "The old ones are somewhat stale. Can't your Frate get a poet to help out his imagination for him?"
You must see to it, my bel erudito: she keeps too many fasts and vigils in your absence." Tito gave a melancholy shrug. "It is too true, Nello. She has been depriving herself of half her proper food every day during this famine. But what can I do? Her mind has been set all aflame. A husband's influence is powerless against the Frate's."
In addition to the pictures mentioned above, I may call attention to the adoring figure of S. Catherine of Siena, in three large paintings now severally in the Pitti, at Lucca, and in the Louvre. In the Uffizzi. As a composition, it is the Frate's masterpiece. See Vol. I., Age of the Despots, p. 487, for this consequence of the sack of Prato. L'Art Chrétien, vol. ii. p. 515.
It is also thought that Fra Bartolommeo helped in the composition of Raphael's famous Madonna del Baldacchino, which is truly very much in his style. The year 1508 marks the Frate's first acquaintance with the Venetian school, which was not without its influence upon him.
