Back to Michael Angelo Buonarroti: With Translations Of The Life Of The Master By His Scholar, Ascanio Condivi, And Three Dialogues From The Portugese By Francisco d'Ollanda
Core Belief
"Life owes him a good living, and someone (preferably Michael Angelo) should provide it for him."
Worldview
He views the world as unfair and sees himself as a victim of circumstance. He lacks the ambition and drive to succeed on his own and is content to rely on the generosity of others.
Personality
Giovan Simone is presented as irresponsible, lacking direction, and prone to causing trouble for his family. He struggles to maintain a stable life and often relies on Michael Angelo's generosity, much to the artist's frustration. He is a source of worry and anxiety for his more successful brother.
In Their Own Words
"These painters in things outside their art are all like this."
"You must be mad! Do you think Lorenzo would rather appear to you or to his own son? Would he not rather appear to him than to any one else?"
"Why! this is but a small matter."
