No. 47—MICHAEL ANGELO, the Boy Artist. OF Ludovico Buonarott! had won for himself a solid ané@ Sighiy respected position as a merchant in the historic Italian eity of Florence, Florence was a city of great merchants, and was ruled by the merchant prince Lorenzo de Medicl; or “Lorenzo the Magnificent,” e» Bis. gay subjects called him. Mercantile life was held in much repute. Ludovico Buonarott! was proud of the wealth and honors he had amassed. When, in 1475, his second son was born, he named the boy “Michael An- gelo” and decreed that ho should one day carry on the Buonarott! family business. Michael Angelo was a slender, black-hatred youngster, ewarthy of skin _ and shaggy of brow. He had dreamy eyes and long, tapering fingers. In looks, a8 well as in tastes he promised to be anyttng but the stodgy mer- chant bis father wanted him to become. But old Buonarott! laughed at his friends’ warnings that the lad wauld be @ disappointment to him. He had governed a big mercantile house for years, and he was confident he would have no trouble } The Idieet ¢ 18 Kaverning one little shaggy-browed boy. So he sent Michael Angelo to the school of Fran- { Pupil. cisco 4'Urbino to learn the foundations of his future —n® life-work. Presently reports of the young pupil's cons duct began to drift home to Buonarottl, but satisfactory. * It appeared that Michael Angelo was shamefully neglecting his tasks and was forever running away to a studio in the neighborhood, where he loved to watch an artist at work. Also, he was secretly learning to draw and to paint. Art was an almost sacred thing in mediaeval Italy, But Buonarott! had |no patience with {t. There was much more money in a merchant's career So Michael Angelo was whipped and scolded and ordered to stick to his books, The disobedient boy continued to run away to the studto, and he éid todd jobs for the ist in payvhent for painting lessons, He besought his father to let him study art. Buonarotti angrily refused, and there were” | more punishments for the unlucky youth, £ | This sort of thing went on for a long time. At last Buonarott! saw the art-sick boy would never Amount to anything a9 a merchant. So, in disgust, |he gave up the fight and apprenticed Michael Angelo to Ghirlandajo, one of the foremost painters of the age, | The lad was in the soventh heaven of bliss. Ho flung himself eagerly |into the mastery of his chosen profession, Within a year or two he had | almost outstripped his master in artistic skill. Ghirlandajo at first had been proud of his wonderful pupil. Now he began to be Jealous of him, Tho climax came when the master gave his class one of his own ple- |tures to copy. Instead of copying Ghirlandajo’s picture, Michael Angelo proceeded to correct certain errors in it, and sketched into It several im- provements. # | ‘Thie was too much for the Je: | scene, and he and his most brilliant pup | Lorenzo the Magnificent had heard of M jsent for tho boy to come to his palace « And these reports were anything andafo. There was a stormy d company. \ael Angelo's prowess, and he d continue his studies there, A’ sculptor who was one of Lorenzo's guests interested Michael Angelo in his art, Without ceasing his other work, the lad ardently took up sculpture along with painting. One day, #0 runs the stor: | furiously hewing with hammer and chisel at a great bi | what he was doing, Michael Angelo paused long enough to answer: “There js an angel {mprisoned in the marble.
