“要完成作品,先学习塑造。”这是贾姆博洛尼亚从米开朗基罗那里得到的简短的告诫。当时他拿了一个勉强完成的泥稿给年老的大师看,大师从他手里接过泥稿,捏扁了又卓越地塑成一个新的构图。贾姆博洛尼亚一直未忘记这次经历,后来变成了一个勤勉的塑造者。也象米开朗基罗的习惯作法一样,他从一开始就显然喜欢用三度空间的形式制造他的构图,而不借助于绘画的手法。实际上,他留下来的蜡或泥的稿子比文艺复兴的其他任何艺术家都多。1550年贾姆博洛尼亚到意大利,刚好这年出版了瓦萨里的《艺术家生平》,其中记载了意大利雕刻家的正规技法: “To finish the work, first learn how to shape it.” Here is a brief caution Jag Bologna received from Michelangelo. At that time, he took a barely completed mud manuscript to the old master, who took the mud manuscript from his hand, flattened it and remarkably molded it into a new composition. Jambal Bologna has not forgotten this experience, and later it has become a diligent creator. Like Michelangelo’s customary practice, from the very outset he apparently liked to make his composition in three dimensions without resorting to the techniques of painting. In fact, he left more wax or mud manuscripts than any other artist in the Renaissance. In 1550 Jampa Bologna traveled to Italy, where Vasari’s “Biography of Artists” was published just this year, which records the formal techniques of Italian sculptors:
