Not only do the inspection of the ground, and considerations deduced from its relievo, confirm these opinions; but a mere glance of the configuration of the coasts, and a geological map of the country, would suggest the same ideas.
Had these filaments been accidentally associated in construction, the results might have been the same, but it is unnecessary to indicate in detail the possibilities of adventitious color combinations. So far as they exhibit system at all it is identical with the relievo elaboration.
Thanks to the brownish tone of the figure, the light, falling from one side of the sculpture, admirably displayed the form of the youthful god, which, carved in relievo, and thus illumined, shone like a magnificent statue of pale gold upon the dark fretted background of the bronze.
There was a time when the two sexes were only one, but now God has halved them, much as the Lacedaemonians have cut up the Arcadians, and if they do not behave themselves he will divide them again, and they will hop about with half a nose and face in basso relievo.
There lay the lyre she had given to her brother; her eye fell on the relievo of the marriage of Cadmus and Harmonia, and on the figure of a woman who was offering a jewel to the bride. The bearer of the gift was the goddess of love, and the ornament she gave so ran the legend brought misfortune on those who inherited it.
"The first object of a painter is to make a simple flat surface appear like a relievo, and some of its parts detached from the ground; he who excels all others in that part of the art deserves the greatest praise," wrote Leonardo da Vinci, and the insistence on this "standing out" quality, with its appeal to the touch sense as something great in art, sounds very strange in these days.
Room 23 holds the greater portion of the sculpture, including Amigoni's simple "Adolescence" , Brozzi's spirited "Animals" , in relievo on bronze, Graziosi's "Susanna" , and Pagliani's "On the Beach" . All of these won gold medals, but the really striking piece in the room is "Proximus Tuus" , the weary peasant, by Achille D'Orsi.
The entablature of each pediment is tastefully filled up with groups of figures in white marble, exquisitely carved in alto relievo, illustrative of the arts and sciences. On the extreme points of the wing on the left, are fixed statues representing History, Geography, and Astronomy; and on those of the right wing, Painting, Music, and Architecture.
