BANDINELLI, BARTOLOMMEO

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 312 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BANDINELLI, BARTOLOMMEO or BACCIO (14931560), Florentine sculptor, was the son of an eminent goldsmith, and from him Bandinelli obtained the first elements of drawing. Showing a strong inclination for the fine arts, he was early placed under Rustici, a sculptor, and a friend of Leonardo da Vinci, with whom he made rapid progress. The ruling
motive
  in his
life
  seems to have been jealousy both of Benvenuto Cellini and of Michelangelo, one of whose cartoons he is said to have torn up and destroyed. He is regarded by some as inferior in sculpture only to Michelangelo, with whom a comparison unfavourable to Bandinelli is tempted in such works as the
marble
  colossal group of Hercules and Cacus in the Piazza del Gran Duco, and the group of
Adam
  and Eve in the Bargello. Among his best works must be reckoned the
bassi
 -rilievi in the choir of the
cathedral
  of Florence; his copy of the Laocoon; and the figures of Christ and Nicodemus on his own
tomb
 .
