Michael Angelo relied almost en-
tirely upon form-the form Of the fig
ure and Of the draperies, writes
Charles II. Cafin in St Nicholas. He
told Pope Julian H., when the latter
requested him to paint the ceiling Of
the Sigtine chapel at Rome. that he
vas not a painter, but a sculptor; yet,
after he had shut himself up for four
years-from 1903 to 1512-and the
scaffold was removed, a result had
been achieved which is without paral-
lei in the world Very wonderful is
the work which Michael Angelo
spread over this vast area Of 10000
square feet The fact that there are
343 principal figures. many Of colos-
sal size, besides a great number Of
others introduced for decorative ef
feet, and that the creator Of this vast
scheme was only 33 when he began
his work-all this is marvellous. prodi-
gious. and yet not so marvellous as
the variety Of expression in the fig
ures Of which Jeremiah is only one
figure, in a small side arch.
