72. Leonard had already described his first vision of the two sisters, in keeping with the general opinion: “In white dresses and large hats, with parasols in their hands, their beauty literally took one’s breath away, for suddenly seeing them one stopped astonished and everything including one’s breathing for one second also stopped as it does when in a picture gallery you suddenly come face to face with a great Rembrandt or Velasquez…. It was almost impossible for a man not to fall in love with them…. It must, however, be admitted that at that time they seemed to be so formidably aloof and reserved that it was rather like falling in love with Rembrandt’s picture of his wife, Velasquez’s picture of an Infanta, or the lovely temple of Segesta.” (In white dresses:
