Four  were  then  finished,  namely,  those  of  Saints  Peter,  Pan],  Pius,  and
Gregory,  and  with  these  the  work  ended,  for  in  1537  we  find  that  the
heirs  of  tlie  Pope  reclaimed  one  hundred  scudi  on  money  advanced  over
and  above  the  value  of  work  done.  (Gotti,  vol.  i.  pp.  25,  26.)  There  are
^^Q  small  statues  of  Saints  Francis,  James,  Pius,  and  Gregory,  and  a
Madonna  and  Child  in  the  Piccolomini  Chapel  in  the  Duomo  at  Siena.
These  represent  the  result  of  the  Cardinal's  commission,  hut  we  quite
agree  with  the  annotators  of  Yasari  {Proapetto  CronologicOg  toL  m.
p.  388)  that  they  are  second-rate  works,  and  not  in  Hichelangelo's
style.
