The eight views

Speranza

As inquired by Benedetto Varchi, Cellini says that there should be EIGHT views, all of them of equal quality.

The modelator does start from a SINGLE VIEW, but as he moves round his statue, difficulties begin.

The modelator will be required to MODIFY the _initial_ view in order to improve the subsidiary views, which may otherwise be ugly, and must work towrds a compromise that will ensure that the statue, from EVERY POINT OF VIEW (taht is, from a hundred, or more), is as little defective as possible.
