Description:
'This creation of life--life coming always as relief or recovery, and always in strong contrast with the rough-hewn mass in which it is kindled--is in various ways the motive of all his work, whether its immediate subject be Pagan or Christian, legend or allegory; and this, although at least one-half of his work was designed for the adornment of tombs--the tomb of Julius, the tombs of the Medici.'
