[Footnote 144: Raffaello came to Florence towards the end of 1504. (_Lett. Pitt._ tom. i. p. 2.) In this year Michelangiolo was called to Rome, and left his cartoon imperfect. Having afterwards fled from Rome, through dread of Julius II., he completed it in three months, in the year 1506. Compare the Brief of Julius, in which he recals Michelangiolo (_Lett. Pitt._ tom. iii. p. 320), with the relation of Vasari (tom. vi. Ed. Fiorent. p. 191). During the time that Michelangiolo laboured at this work, "he was unwilling to shew it to any person (p. 182); and when it was finished it was carried to the hall of the Pope," and was there studied (p. 184). Raffaello had then returned to Florence, and this work might open the way to his new style, which, as a learned Englishman expresses it, is intermediate between that of Michelangiolo and of Perugino.] [Footnote 145: He chose the companions of those who had painted in the Sistine, Jacopo di Sandro (Botticelli), Agnolo di Donnino, a great friend of Rosselli, and the elder Indaco, a pupil of Ghirlandaio, who were but feeble artists. Bugiardini, Gianacci and Aristotile di S. Gallo, of whom we shall take further notice in the proper place, were there also.] [Footnote 146: Varchio, in his Funeral Oration, p. 15.] [Footnote 147: _Idea del Tempio della Pittura_, p. 47. Ed.

Rosa, Sat. iii. p. 85.] [Footnote 152: Salvator Rosa in his third satire, p. 84, narrates the rebuke which the Prelate gave Michelangiolo for his indecency in painting the Saints themselves without garments.] [Footnote 153: Microscosmo, p. 6.] [Footnote 154: Tom. ii. p. 254.] [Footnote 155: He is also blamed for this part of the perspective by others.
