The statement
I have completed a new work showing three men at a gathering, and though I leave no written account of my intentions, I trust the line itself will speak. As in the Primavera, where figures stand in measured, dance-like rhythm across a shallow stage, I have arranged these three so that their bodies and gestures compose a frieze—each form answering the next in the unbroken flow that has always been my first concern. The cool, even light falls without heavy shadow, keeping the scene weightless, almost dreamlike, as in The Birth of Venus where pale color and the near-absence of cast shadow preserve an emblematic rather than earthly presence.
I have drawn their drapery with the same decorative refinement I gave to the transparent veils of the Graces—long, calligraphic folds that curve and spiral in answer to the composition's inner music. The viewer should feel grace made visible, that effortless beauty of form which my Medici patrons have long valued, and perhaps also a wistful sadness beneath the gathering's courtesy, for even festive scenes carry a contemplative melancholy. Everything is carried by line; the difficult made to look easy, the transient made beautiful.
