His style, too, betrays a different origin. In the works of the friar we in- variably meet with some vestiges of Giotto's manner, both in the attitudes of the figures, and the attempts to atone for the de- ficiencies of art to say nothing of the drapery, which he fre- quently makes to fall down in long plaits, or of that exquisite finish in the minutest particulars, which is peculiar to those who employed themselves on illuminations. Indeed, he departs but EPOCH I. XXXI little from the style of... illuminators in the greater part of his works, which consist of sacred pieces relative to our Saviour and the blessed Virgin, in cabinet pictures by no means rare at Flo- rence. His distinguishing merit is the beauty with which he invests the heads of his Saints and Angels the veritable Guido of the age, even as regards the sweetness of his colours, which, though merely water-colours, he contrived to blend together with an almost perfect harmony. He was also reckoned one of the best fresco painters of his day ; and was employed to deco- rate, not only the cathedral of Orvieto, but the palace of the Va- tican itself, where he painted one of the chapels, a work on which authors have bestowed the highest encomiums.
