The links work perfectly for me. And you know, if Thomas Jefferson based the designs for Monticello on Italian architecture he, personally, never got to see but which he had sketches, paintings and descriptions for, most of which he aquired in Paris, I'd say your theory is plausible enough. Plus Fritz certainly comes across as well-versed (for a man of his era) on Renaissance painters and architects on those lecturing letters and mentions Michelangelo more than once. (Even if to say all Michelangelo only did eight or so truly great works, the rest is just not quite genius, and the genius ones are mostly out of the country, so really, sis, get your expectations low.)
