T Then the Rue de la Bascule, or ' Wapper, ' a broad street with a canal in the middle, filling up, apparently, the space THE VICISSITUDES OF ANTWERP 259 de JMeir. He drew the plans himself on the model of some palace he had known in Italy, painted frescoes on the walls, and filled it with curios he had collected during his travels. In his large garden he put up a domed ' Pantheon, ' where he arranged the paintings, antique statues and busts, cameos, medals, vases of porphyry, and other treasur...es which his friends in Italy sent him. His studio was a vast room, from which the largest canvases were easily brought down by a staircase which one of his biographers describes as like that of a royal palace. AVe know a great deal about his mode of life at Antwerp, and how he was sent journeying on diplomatic errands by the Court of Albert and Isabella to France, Spain, Holland, England, and everywhere received with honour. At home, early in the morning (he rose at four in suminer), having already been to Mass, he is at work in his studio, and loves to listen as he paints to some friend who will read to him from Cicero or Plutarch, or, brush in hand, talks with endless vivacity to the guests between the east side of the modern Rue Rubens and the west side of the modern Rue Wappers.
