was the great Michael Angelo. Contemporary with
Grhirlandajo lived an artist, memorable for having-
aided with his instructions both Michael Angelo and
Lionardo da Vinci. This was Andbea Veb-
Eocchio (b. 1432, d. 1488), who was a goldsmith
and sculptor in marble and bronze, and also a
painter, though in painting his works are few and
little known. He drew admirably, and is celebrated
through the celebrity of the artists formed in his
school: among them was Lionaj’do da Vinci. He
is said to have been the first who took casts in
plaster from life as aids in the study of form. In
the collection of Miss Rogers, the sister- of the poet,
there is a portrait in profile, by Verrocchio, of a
Florentine lady of rank, rather hard and severe in
the execution and drawing, yet with a certain simple
elegance—a look of high breeding—which is very-
striking.
