Guided by the beautiful Leonora Baroni, Milton became only now fully familiar with the precious treasures of the Eternal City, its churches and palaces, its ruins and relics of antiquity. She showed him the statues of the gods, the creations of the modern poets, and, being herself deeply initiated into and an ar- dent lover of art, she revealed to him the significance and leading ideas of the highest achievements of mankind. He stood admir- ingly with her before the Apollo-Belvedere, the dying ...Gladiator, and the Faun; with enraptured eyes he contemplated Raphael's Madonnas and Michael Angelo's " Last Judg- ment," on the walls of the Vatican. His own imagination was particularly attracted by the noble works of this sublime master. He felt that he possessed a kindred genins, and in his soul dawned in vague outlines the plan of a poem which was to vie in boldness and gran- deur of conception with the immortal frescoes of Michael Angelo. Leonora did not share his predilection for this majestic painter, but in- clined more toward the divine Sanzio, who iu his sublime creations never overstepped the rules of Eesthetics and beauty.
