Luca, in passing from one thing to another, from marble to bronze and from bronze to clay, did not do so from slothfulness or because he was capricious, unstable and discontented with his art, as many are, but because Nature led him on to new things, and because of his need for an employment suited to his taste, which should cause him less fatigue and bring him more profit.
