Chap. VIII. BKKNAKDINO PINTURICCHIO, 281 'a secco’”, “the cartoons and their transfer to be done by himself; and all the heads finished with his own hand”. In consideration of all this, the Cardinal consented to pay 200 ducats at Venice for the purchase of gold and colours, and 100 ducats at Perugia for the transport of baggage and hire of assistants, 50 ducats for the com pletion of each compartment, and the rest at the close. Besides* Pinturicchio was to have a house gratis to live in near the Duomo, wood for scaffoldings, lime, and sand; and corn, wine, and oil, according to his wants, from the overseers of the Cardinal. All that he was called upon to do in addition was to give security for the advance of three hundred ducats, upon which he immediately returned to Perugia, taking with him the descriptions furnished by Cardinal Piccolomini. 1 Pinturicchio had necessarily nothing more pressing to do there than to despatch his family and tools to Sienna, where he had a prospect of residing some time. But he had also to look out for aids at Perugia, and we have no doubt that he is correctly described by Vasari as having engaged many of the apprentices and work men in the school of Perugino. 2 We shall find that amongst these young Raphael was probably included. Time elapsed, however, before all matters in connection with this change were regulated, and it was spring of 1503 before the, labours at Sienna commenced. The ceiling was the first part of the library that was taken in hand, and some months went by before its elegantly relieved frames were coloured and interspersed with pictures and monochromes representing mythological in cidents. In compliance with the contract, the arms of Piccolomini were emblazoned in shields on the ceiling, and the introduction of the cardinal’s hat into them de termines their date. Cardinal Piccolomini was elected on the 21 st of Sep tember 1503 at the conclave which met after the death 1 This most important and inter- I ub. sup. III. 9—13. ©sting contract is in Doc.
