moderate success. He speaks
of himself as "advanced in years, without loving care of any kind, and
of a troubled mind." His will shows that his worldly possessions were
few and poor, and that he had no heir closer than a nephew; but he
leaves some of his cartoons as a dowry to "two girls of quiet nature,
healthy in mind and body, and likely to make thrifty housekeepers," on
their marriage to "two well-recommended young men," about to become
painters. His sensitive and introspective temperament led him to prefer
the retirement and the quiet beauty of Loreto to the brilliant society
of which he was made free in Venice. "His spirit," says Mr. Berenson,
"is more like our own than is perhaps that of any other Italian
painter, and it has all the appeal and fascination of a kindred soul
in another age."
