Grimaldi, went to see him one day, ata pretty enougl: 
house which he had caused lately to be builts:. After ha- 
ving seen the apartments, which were ornamented with 
curiosities, “‘ Well!” says the proprietor to him, ‘ you 
who have so extended a knowledge, can you tell me any 
thing new, which you have not seen here,and which I can 
cause tobe made into a picture for this house ?” Borsierri, 
surprised at this question, answered him, that he could 
give him the subject of an excellent picture, which fhould 
represent a thing which was wanting at his house, and 
which was never seen there. Being prefsed to tell the name 
of it, “ I would advise you,” said he, “ to make a pain- 
ting of Generosity.” Grimaldi, struck with that word, 
took his part immediately. “ Yes, Sir,” answered he with a 
_vivacity which was not usual te him, “ I will cause it to 
be represented in sucha manner, that nobody thall be able 
to reproach me with not having known it.” From that 
moment he changed his conduct.entirely ; and made so 
splendid a use of his great riches, that they speak of no- 
thing but the magnificence and liberality of Grimato1.
