Answers
Answer:
SUMMARY: The story starts with Bartoli hiring the master artist I’Abbaye , who is about to retire in
the month of May. I'Abbaye is highly recommended by Bartoli's friend.
The artist agrees to make the portrait but on the condition that he will not take any money , just food
and a bed to sleep,and that the portrait will remain hidden from even the patron till it is complete.
The patron finds it strange, but he says that I'Abbaye will be paid something for his effort and agrees
.
The artist is happy to find the 20 feet wall and wants his imagination to work on that wall as he likes,
as the artists of that time have to follow the guild and cannot do what they like.
He places a big curtain before the wall so that no one can see it. Whenever Bartoli demands to see the
portrait he says it is going on well. He also mentions that it is taking time as he is using the technique
of Buon Fresco which needs four coats of lime plaster and it is time taking procedure. It takes him six
months to complete the portrait. But when Bartoli sees the portrait he is enraged as he doesn't like
the portrait at all.
Actually the artist had used the Cubist expression which was not popular at that time.
