Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 66: June and September, 1840
From the foregoing sketch it will be gathered that this school had less of the severer elements of the art, less anatomical science, and boldness in design, than was apparent in Luca Signorelli, and the masters who resembled and preceded him. A similar dis tinction is observable in Florence (although, as before observed, the religious tendency was there short-lived), if we compare the successors of Angelico da Fiesole with Verocchio. This artist, whose works were chiefly in sculpture, invites our attention to a class of designers, many of whom resembled him in treating both arts: if sculpture suffered by such a connexion, painting un doubtedly gained by it, and to this plastic influence, the thorough study of anatomy, and the em leyment of chiaro-scuro as con ducive to roundness, are great y to be attributed. The latter quality was already aimed at by Masaccio early in the fifteenth century, and both attained perfection, as regards their ap lication to form, in the hands of Leonardo da Vinci and Michael Xngelo.
