To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Augus- tine's, Siena, whilst the whole upper part of the Vatican " Coronation of the Virgin " PLATE IV. LA BELLE JARDINIERE (In the Louvre) "La Belle Jardiniere" is a magnificent example of Raphael's Florentine style, which came from his being influenced by Leonardo da Vinci when at Florence (see the triangular composition). The Virgin's mantle was probably finished by Ridolfo Ghirlandaio ; other parts the hands and the feet are hardly finished ; neverthe- less it is one of the finest, most exp...ressive, and touching Madonnas by the Master. RAPHAEL 35 is " lifted " from an " Assumption " by Pietro. But this almost literal imitation was only a passing phase, whilst the great lesson of space-composition and the typically Umbrian gift of almost religious fervour in r stating the peaceful glory of the Umbrian hill-land, which had been imparted to Raphael at Perugia, remained permanent acquisitions to his art. In 1502 Perugino went back to Florence, and Raphael probably joined Pinturicchio's staff of assistants, though Vasari's statement that he furnished the designs for the latter master's frescoes in the Piccolomini Library at Siena may be dismissed as a fable.
