Lionardo,
(The Stage is plunged in sudden darkness. The bella
are still heard tolling slowly until it has grown
lighter again. Then they stop suddenly. During
the moment of darkness the scene has changed to
Remigio's studio. This is a large high-ceilinged
room with high Gothic windows at back. There is a
small door R. L. towards the back a heavy
redFurtain covering the entrance to an inner room.
Copies of antiquestatues, pictures on the walls,
appropriate for the date, early 16th century. It is
early down. The Stage is almost dark.
Lionardo (Leonhard) lies on the floor by the curtain,
but he is not asleep.
(In tenter of the stage a little to the front L. is
a large picture coiled on an easel.)
All is quiet for a few seconds, then Paola(Pauline)
comes from behind the curtain L. She wears a loose
flowing white garment, making her look exactly like
the picture in the first scene. She passes Lionardo
without seeing him, goes slowly to the easel and
raises the veil Cently from the picture. It is the
