Bolognia [[Bologna]]
In this Academy there is also
A Fine Salutation by [[Franciscena]]
What I remark as a little particular
in this is that the Virgin as she kneels
behind the Stool has her face towards
the Angel where he descends w'ch [which] takes
off from the twisting w'ch [which] most Painters fall
into of this figure - And altho' [although] the
Angel is yet so near the ground that he
might touch it by straitening his leg
yet he is represented as kneeling on a
y/e [the] Cloud on w'ch [which] he descended, w'ch [which] to me
gives a more noble idea, than if he
was made as a man to stand on ye [the ground]
or bow before the Virgin without a Cloud
w'ch [which] is as proper to an Angel as to repre
sent him with wings -
Besides these things we were shewn

Chymistry, Anatomy, Painting, Sculpture
