So stood this Angelo
Four hundred years ago;
So grandly still he stands,
Mid lesser worlds of art,
Colossal and apart,
Like Memnon breathing songs across the desert sands.

All confessed the influence of his sweet and gracious nature,
which was so replete with excellence and so perfect in all the
charities, that not only was he honored by men, but even by the
very animals, who would constantly follow his steps, and always
loved him.

Tuscan Sculpture.
Houghton. .75

This book comprises sixteen examples of fifteenth-century work, with
an introduction, also containing other information, on some
characteristics of Tuscan sculpture of this period.

The Italian sculptors of the earlier half of the fifteenth
century are more than mere forerunners of the great masters of
its close, and often reach perfection within the narrow limits
which they chose to impose on their work. Their sculpture shares
with the paintings of Botticelli and the churches of Brunelleschi
that profound expressiveness, that intimate impress of an
indwelling soul, which is the peculiar fascination of the art of
Italy in that century.

As the Spanish proverb says: "He who would bring home the wealth
of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him." So
it is in travelling: A man must carry knowledge with him if he
would bring home knowledge.
