The Marriage of St. Catherine Bartolommeo The Artist of the Monk. ON A FLORENTINE PICTURE BY ALBER-TINELLI. This pictured work, with ancient graces fraught,Or so they say, Albertinelli wrought.He who that touching piece achieved, where meetThe sisters twain, in Visitation sweet;Of which the Tuscan city, mid her crowdOf miracles, e en yet is justly proud. Oh, matchless line of years, whose generous strifeReared the reviving arts to perfect life:Then, Petrarchs native lay refined on love;Then, Angelo the impetuous chisel drove;Then, oracles that stirred young Raphaels breastSpoke forth in colors, clear as words exprest. Thou too, the pencils scarce less gifted seer,Fair is the dream thy hand interprets here:How sweet yon Infant Christs down-beaming smileOn bright Saint John, who lifts his own the while: That bliss of young maternity how sweet,Where mildly mingling, Saint and Mother meet:Nay, more than mothers rapture, to beholdHer Savior-son, by prophet bards foretold. 227 Florence.
