Chapter 161 Two Orders
The little gathering with Ferdinau and his wife passed quickly. After all, Verocchio and Anno still need to return to Florence, so the few of them just talked about Anno's recent life in Florence and his progress in his studies. Ferdinau, who was very relieved, sent the two away.
Boring study time always passes quickly.
Annuo has a quiet personality and can calm down and study. His progress is rapid. Several senior brothers also feel a sense of crisis, which promotes a wave of healthy competition.
In May, Verocchio received an order.
The placing orderer found Verocchio and ordered a copper statue with a ratio of one to one, with the image of David and required to be completed within half a year.
The price of this bronze sculpture was so expensive. Just a deposit, the noble who placed the order paid 600 Florida.
This crazy price made Verocchio feel the motivation instantly. He asked Anno to buy enough copper and gold, and he checked the information day and night.
Verocchio and several students talked about the design plan for a day before they designed an image that everyone was generally satisfied with.
David in the design picture is young and confident. He holds a double-edged sword in his right hand, showing his strong muscles, wearing simple clothes decorated with gold, and a head on the sole of his feet, which is the head of the evil giant Goliath, and a wound on his head that was hit by a stone.
Everyone called this rare one-to-one bronze statue by the members of the studio "monumental statue" because the noble who placed the order was the admirer of King David.
After confirming this nearly perfect design with the noble, Verocchio started construction.
The process of bronze casting is extremely slow and can only be done a little bit.
On the other hand, the fledgling Lawrence Anno also received his first order.
A husband living in Florence intends to paint a portrait of his deceased wife.
After the price was referenced by Botticelli, Anno set a price of 7 Florida.
The residents of Florence were quite rich and agreed immediately.
Verocchio said seriously before Anno started writing: "This is the first time you have accepted an external order. Your level is enough. Remember, Lawrence, keep your mind steady."
"The first order of an artist is extremely important, and it is also related to the evaluation of the Florentine Society of Painters."
Anno, who had grown a little taller, responded with a smile: "I understand, Mr. Verocchio."
He chose to keep his long hair and tie it behind him. His slightly thin face and eyes that seemed to contain stars made him look very elegant.
Feeling Anno's confidence, Verocchio also smiled.
"Your calmness and calmness are the most precious wealth, Lawrence." Verocchio hammered Anno's shoulder and smiled, "Come on! Young man!"
Annuo and the Minfu went to the Painters Association to sign a contract, and then, under the description of the Minfu, Annuo began to paint.
The wife of the civilian husband is a bit fat and usually wears a black scarf. She is hardworking and gentle. The two have a son.
It’s just a pity that a few months ago, the husband’s wife died of tuberculosis. This is why the husband came to find an artist to draw a painting to commemorate his wife.
Annuo comforted the choked man, picked up the brush and palette, and started his own performance.
