nothing but the officiousness os sriendship could

phael was indebted to Bramante for his knowledge
of Architecture. The gratitude of that prince of
painters, was, however, not inadequate to this and
his other obligations to his compatriot Artist; see-
ing he has transmitted him to posterity in two por-
traits, inserted in his grand work in the Vatican. In
the piece called the School of Athens, he is in the
character os the Geometrician ; in that of the dispute
on the Holy Sacrament his seatures are given to the
bald and beardless figure, that leans himself and
resits a book on the marble parapet, and, with the
left hand, points to the contents, turning himsels at
the same time towards one who seems to be his op-
ponent.
Giulius II, created Pope in 1503, found in Bra-
mante, an Architect, by quickness of conception,
invention and execution, equal to the projects of his
own ardent and enterprizing genius. At the com-

mense court (400 paces long) between the old Vati-
