I wore one of those shirts to model for passers-by.

I am a free man. I do not need to copy Petrarca or Boccaccio. My own genius is enough. Let others worry themselves about style, and so cease to be themselves. Without a master, without a model, without a guide, I go to work and earn my living, my well-being and my fame.
Pietro Aretino

He Manet begged me to go straight up and see his painting 'Le Balcon' - Berthe was model for this painting, as he was rooted to the spot.
