"Chill for a bit, will ya, Signore?" He said and puffed his long blond fringe away, just to watch it fall back in place. "I am no mass producer, can't paint like some kind of mechanicus."
The monk eyed him uncomprehendingly. And the young painter sighed. "See, signore...an artist needs inspiration and sometimes it takes time for inspiration to come. You don't want some crappy, half-assed painting, now do you?"
He noticed the twitch in the monk's eye with satisfaction.
"Very well, Maestro. Take your time, but this time, choose a more appropriate inspiration. The sculpture of Virgin Mary you made for the cardinal's palazzo was...," the man cleared his throat, "downright scandalous. Those "globes" were just too...big."
The man from the monastery made the sign of the cross as if to ward himself off from the devil in person. He then rushed out of Alfred's atelier.
Alfred let himself sink on his "inspiration chair". The Virgin Mary had large breasts, so what? They were beautiful, and wasn't Mary supposed to be portrayed beautifully? He closed his eyes and remembered the woman, who was his muse for the Mary sculpture. It was that beautiful daughter of a Russian merchant, the bright sunshine of Venice, the fair being reigning over the rich swimming city. Too bad Yekaterina was rarely to be seen outside. Her brother was a protective bitch, really.
In fact, he never had the chance to speak to her.
"Yekaterina...," he whispered with a longing sigh. Seemed like he had to see the whorehouses again tonight, his life was just depressing.
