Text Appearing Before Image:
ENTH CENTURY DRAWIN the castle, the Sab-etta Negra, is adorned with four couples of winged genii, finelydeveloped in form, and distinguished by great freedom of movement,who are flying or running amidst a decoration of rich festoons.Here again, Herr Muller-Walde sees the hand of Leonardo, or atleast, of one of his pupils. Signor Beltrami is more cautious. ^ For ^ It is true that a microscopic drawing in the Codex Atlafiticus (fol. 94)—we giveHerr Mtiller-Walde all credit for having noted the fact—represents a man standing inthe attitude of Praxiteles Apollo Sauroctonos, a possible link between the antiquemarble and the fresco in the Castle at Milan. But can we infer from this that the frescowas painted by Leonardo ? We might as well affirm that Leonardo was the sculptor ofthe David, and not Michelangelo, because there is a sketch of the statue in a drawing byLeonardo in the British Museum. - // Castello di Milam, p. 700-703.
