It pleased Michael Angelo so much that he gave Leone a wax model of a
Hercules strangling Antaeus, by his own hand, together with some drawings.
There exist no other portraits of Michael Angelo, except two in painting,
one by Bugiardini, the other by Jacopo del Conte; and one in bronze, in
full relief, made by Daniele da Volterra. These, and Leoni's medal, from
which many copies have been made, and a great number of them have been
seen by me in several parts of Italy and abroad." Francesco d'Olanda made
a drawing of the old man in hat and mantle.(173) Another portrait of
Michael Angelo is introduced into Marcello Venusti's copy of the Last
Judgment, now in the Picture Gallery at Naples. The original study for it
may be the portrait in the Casa Buonarroti, at Florence; it was frequently
repeated by him. One replica may be the portrait, said to be by Michael
Angelo's own hand, at the Capitol. The apostle in red on the spectator's
right of the picture of the Assumption, by Daniele da Volterra, in the
Church of the Trinita de' Monti, in Rome, is also said to be a portrait of
Daniele's friend and master, who had supplied him with the design for his
great Crucifixion in the same church. There is a life-size, full-face
charcoal drawing of the master in the Teyler Museum at Haarlem which may
be by the hand of Daniele, it has been pricked for tracing. Bonasoni
engraved a profile portrait of Michael Angelo; it is dated 1546. It is a
very faithful and beautiful piece of work, and tells us what he looked
like at the age of seventy-two.(174) The bronze bust by Daniele da
Volterra, of which there are several copies, looks as if it had been
modelled from a mask taken after death; at least, it was finished from
one. Battista Lorenzi executed the bronze bust on Michael Angelo's tomb at
Santa Croce, in Florence, from a similar mask.(175)

During all these later years, Michael Angelo kept up a brisk
correspondence with his dutiful nephew Lionardo about the purchase of land
in Florence, and other family matters.

Giovan Simone, the elder of Michael Angelo's surviving brothers, died in
1548.(176)

"LIONARDO,--I hear from your last of Giovan Simone's death. It
gives me the greatest sorrow, for I still hoped, although I am
old, to have seen him before he died, and before I died. God has
willed it so. Patience! I should
