- Description
- The painting contains a tetrastich inscribed above Vermigli's head that reads: HVNC GENVIT FLORENTIA, NVNC PEREGRINVS OBERRAT, QVO STABILIS FIAT CIVIS APVD SVPEROS ILLIVS EFFIGIES, MENTVM SCRIPTA RECONDVIT INTEGRITIS PIETAS PINGIER ARTE NEQVIT . "Florence brought him forth, Now he wanders as a foreigner/That he might forever be a citizen among those in heaven./This is his likeness; but a painting cannot reveal his heart/for integrity and piety cannot be represented by art."
