Text Appearing Before Image:
assumed that Michelangelo was eighty-eight years of age when he cast the die. But ifthis was done in 1560, the age he had then attainedwas eighty-five. We possess a letter from Leoni inMilan to Buonarroti in Rome, dated March 14, 1561.^In it he says: I am sending to your lordship, bythe favour of Lord Carlo Visconti, a great man inthis city, and beloved by his Holiness, four medalsof your portrait: two in silver, and two in bronze.I should have done so earlier but for my occupationwith the monument (of Medeghino), and for thecertainty I feel that you will excuse my tardiness,if not a sin of ingratitude in me. The one enclosedwithin the little box has been worked up to thefinest polish. I beg you to accept and keep this forthe love of me. With the other three you will doas you think best. I say this because ambition hasprompted me to send copies into Spain and Flanders,as I have also done to Rome and other places. Icall it ambition, forasmuch as I have gained an over- ^ Gotti, i. 346.
Text Appearing After Image:
Q o O LEONFS WAX CAMEO. 261 plus of benefits by acquiring the goodwill of yourlordship, whom I esteem so highly.^ Have I notreceived in little less than three months two letterswritten to me by you, divine man; and couched notin terms fit for a servant of good heart and will, butfor one beloved as a son? I pray you to go onloving me, and when occasion serves, to favour me;and to Signor Tomao dei Cavalieri say that I shallnever be unmindful of him. It is clear, then, I think, that Leonids model wasmade at Kome in 1560, cast at Milan, and sentearly in the spring of 1561 to Michelangelo. Thewide distribution of the medals, two of which existstill in silver,^ while several in bronze may be foundin difierent collections, is accounted for by whatLeoni says about his having given them away tovarious parts of Europe. We are bound to supposethat AET. 88 in the legend on the obverse is due toa misconception concerning Michelangelos age. Oldmen are often ignorant or careless about the exacttale
