The boy Francesco was still his friend, and together they went to studyin the gardens of San Marco, where Lorenzo the Magnificent hadcollected many statues and works of art. Here was a new field forMichelangelo. Without needing a lesson he began to copy the statues interra-cotta, and so clever was his work that Lorenzo was delighted withit.
'See, now, what thou canst do with marble, ' he said. 'Terra-cott
...a isbut poor stuff to work in. ' Michelangelo had never handled a chisel before, but he chipped and cutaway the marble so marvellously that life seemed to spring out of thestone. There was a marble head of an old faun in the garden, and thisMichelangelo set himself to copy. Such a wonderful copy did he makethat Lorenzo was amazed. It was even better than the original, for theboy had introduced ideas of his own and had made the laughing mouth alittle open to show the teeth and the tongue of the faun.
