The Life of Michael Angelo
In the National Museum in Florence is a marble statue which Michael Angelo called " The Victor." It represents the beautiful nude figure of a yoimg man, with curly hair over a low forehead. Standing erect, he has placed his knee on the back of a bearded prisoner, who bends and, hke an ox, stretches his head forward. But the victor looks not upon him. When about to strike he stays his hand, and turns away his sad mouth and irresolute eyes. His arm falls back towards his shoulder. He throws himself backwards. A desire for victory no longer fills his heart — it is repulsive to him. Though he has conquered, he in turn is vanquished.
