Cellini describes Michelangelo

Speranza

Battle of Cascina.

"Michelangelo portrayed a number of footmen, who, since
it was summer,  had gone to bathe in the Arno. Michelangelo
drew them at the very moment the alarm is given, and the
naked soldiers run to arms. So fine is their action that
nothing in ancient or modern art touches so high a point
of excellence."
