On the same day that Benvenuto removed his statue from the mould, he sent word to Francois I. that his Jupiter was cast, and asked him on what day it was his pleasure that the King of Olympus should appear before the King of France.
Francois replied that his cousin, the Emperor, and he were to hunt in the forest of Fontainebleau on the following Thursday, and that he need do nothing more than have his statue transported to the grand gallery of the château on that day.
