But let us now leave drawings on one side: Bramantino painted in Milan
the facade of the house of Signor Giovan Battista Latuate, with a most
beautiful Madonna, and on either side of her a Prophet. On the facade of
Signor Bernardo Scacalarozzo he painted four Giants in imitation of
bronze, which are reasonably good; with other works that are in Milan,
which brought him credit, from his having been the first light of a good
manner of painting that was seen in Milan, and the reason that after him
Bramante became, on account of the good form that he gave to his
buildings and perspective-views, an excellent master in the matters of
architecture; for the first things that Bramante studied were the works
of Bramantino. Under the direction of Bramante was built the Temple of
S. Satiro, which pleases me exceedingly, for it is a very rich work,
adorned both within and without with columns, double corridors, and
other ornaments, with the accompaniment of a most beautiful sacristy
all full of statues. But above all does the central tribune of that
place merit praise, the beauty of which, as has been related in the Life
of Bramante, was the reason that Bernardino da Trevio followed that
method in the Duomo of Milan, and gave his attention to architecture,
although his first and principal art was painting; having executed, as
has been related, in a cloister of the Monastery of S. Maria delle
Grazie, four scenes of the Passion in fresco, and some others in
chiaroscuro.

By that Bernardino was brought forward and much assisted the sculptor
Agostino Busto, called Il Bambaja, of whom there has been an account in
the Life of Baccio da Montelupo. Agostino executed some works in S.
Marta, a convent of nuns in Milan, among which, although it is difficult
to obtain leave to enter that place, I have seen the tomb of Monsignor
de Foix, who died at Pavia,[5] in the form of many pieces of marble,
wherein are about ten scenes with little figures, carved with much
diligence, of the deeds, battle
