In and out of Florence; a new introduction to a well-known city . tural de-sign, bits of human anatomy, tentative groupings,and compositions in the swift free lines and scratchesof pen or pencil of a half-hundred men whosepictures fill the Florentine galleries. Raphaelssketches for the Gran Duca and Cardellino Ma-donnas, Titian, Glorgione with his fancy for musi-cians showing In his sketches of players of variousinstruments, Carpaccio, PInturrichIo, Perugino, Va-sari, Cellini (designs for silver or gold work),Baccio Bandlnellis drawings for his Hercules andCacus, are all In the first two rooms (Sale II andIII). In the Sala Prima are the Tuscan and Florentinepainters. Here are sketches and designs by Dona-tello, Masolino, Fra Bartolommeo, Andrea del Sarto,of these latter two an especially large showing; FraAngellco, Ghiberti, Andrea del Castagno, FillppoLIppI, and Flllppino his son, Domenico Ghirlandajo,Botticelli, Verrochio, Luca SIgnorelli, Piero diCosimo, Antonio and Piero del Pollaluolo, BenozzoGozzoll, Mario Albertlnelli, Lorenzo di Credl, Paolo. H P The Uffizi 125 Uccello, and Michelangelo. Of this last, most inter-esting is the first drawing (No. 608) for the nevercompleted mausoleum of Pope Julius II, begun inthe Popes lifetime and worked at intermittently andto the great worry of mind of the artist and the con-stant interference with his other projects, for overtwenty years. For this mausoleum the celebratedMoses and the Bound Captives were made. To reach the rooms of drawings and designs onehas had to pass along hundreds of feet of by old paintings, sculptures, and drawings,this league of corridor contains an important partof the Uffizi collections. But it has an added interestand charm in its timbered and decorated ceiling,which is covered with an amazing variety of ara-besques painted in the sixteenth century. Althoughrather tiring it is fascinating work, to pick out thedetails and scheme of decoration in this exhaustlessceiling gallery. F
