resco--of winning a name among the others named above.

And now that we are come to the end of our Italian masters still
living, I shall say only that no less service has been rendered by one
Lodovico, a Florentine sculptor, who, so I am told, has executed
notable works in England and at Bari; but, since I have not found here
either his relatives or his family name, and have not seen his works,
I am not able (as I fain would) to make any other record of him than
this mention of his name.

DIVERS FLEMINGS

Now, although in many places mention has been made of the works of
certain excellent Flemish painters and of their engravings, but
without any order, I shall not withhold the names of certain
others--for of their works I have not been able to obtain full
information--who have been in Italy, and I have known the greater
number of them, in order to learn the Italian manner; believing that
no less is due to their industry and to the labour endured by them in
our arts. Leaving aside, then, Martin of Holland, Jan van Eyck of
Bruges, and Hubert his brother, who in 1510 invented and brought to
light the method of painting in oil-colours, as has been told
elsewhere, and left many works by his hand in Ghent, Ypres, and
Bruges, where he lived and died in honour; after them, I say, there
followed Roger van der Weyden of Brussels, who executed many works in
several places, but principally in his native city, and for the Town
Hall four most beautiful panel-pictures in oils, of things
appertaining to Justice. A disciple of that Roger was Hans,[16] by
whom, as has been told, we have in Florence the Passion of Christ in a
little picture that is in the hands of the Duke. To him there
succeeded the Fleming Louis of Louvain, Pieter Christus, Justus of
Ghent, Hugo of Antwerp, and many others, who, for the reason that they
never went forth from their own country, always adhered to the Flemish
manner. And if Albrecht Duerer, of whom we have spoken at some length,
did once come to Italy, nevertheless he kept always to one and the
same manner; although he was spirited and vivacious, particularly in
his heads, as is well known to all Europe.

But, leaving these, and together with them Lucas of Holland and
others, I became acquainted in Rome, in 1532, with one Michael Coxie,
who gave no little study to the Italian manner, and executed many
works in fresco in that c
