'-- -- alcune cose mie -- --. Vi sera un quadro d'una Nostra Donna di man di

'Item des Raphaels von Urbino Ding ist nach sein Tod alles verzogen. Aber
seiner Discipuln einer mit Namen Thomas Polonier (= Tomaso Vincidore da Bo-
logna), ein guter Mensch, der hat mich begehrt zu sehen.'

'Ich hab dem Thomas Polonius ein ganzen Druck geben, der mir durch ein ander
Maler gen Rom geschickt wurde, der mir des Raphaels Ding dagegen schicken soll.'

It can thus be proved that one of Vasari's communications that Raphael him-
self had sent the engraving of Marcantonio to Dürer is unreliable, his other commu-
nication concerning the exchange of drawings is on the contrary confirmed also by
other artistic works such as a red chalk drawing (by Penni) of two standing men
(Albertina, Fischel 199) bearing an inscription -- probably from a subsequent owner
for the handwriting is not of Dürer -- stating that it had belonged to Dürer. And in
1541 Vasari saw at Giulio Romano's at Mantova that portrait of Dürer by himself
painted in body-colour which Dürer is said to have given to Raphael; the descrip-
tion is very accurate.
