Text Appearing Before Image:
spacing of the carving, thebold projection of the busts, and their semicircular-headed enclosure,its details are quite as reminiscent of the style associated with thatmonarchs predecessor Louis the Twelfth. The contrast between the richness of the ornament bedeckingthe exteriors of those colossal caprices, the chateaicx which sprang upin the valley of the Loire, and the gaunt severity of the stone wallsof their interiors, testifies that the almost feverish haste in executionprevented the working out of the new classic inspiration with thecompleteness usually characteristic of the Italian. The foil given bythe grim stone to the decorative woodwork is, however, not without apicturesque charm ; absent when—as at Fontainebleau—such mastersas Primaticcio, Leonardo da Vinci, and Andrea del Sarto providesumptuous backgrounds. The sixteenth century witnessed in France the full flood of theRenaissance; and furniture assumed its proper decorative importancein the adornment of the home. 197
Text Appearing After Image:
THE RENAISSANCE IN ITALY 129 hundred and fifty guineas which were recently paid at a sale for abellows thus ornamented, but the materialist wastes his pity on himwhose work brings Eden to the craftsmans brain in reward fordevotion to his craft. Under the inspiration of the Renaissance, learning and richesincreased conjointly. Art being no longer the servant of the Churchor the monopoly of the monk, sculptors and painters joyously designedvivacious house decoration for the lords of the purse, the merchantprinces, and wealthy burghers.
