Public Information
Italian Renaissance sculptor, draughtsman and painter. The son of a prominent Florentine goldsmith, as a boy he was apprenticed under Giovanni Francesco Rustici, a sculptor friend of Leonardo da Vinci. Among his earliest works was a 'Saint Jerome' in wax, made for Giuliano de' Medici. His sculptures have never inspired the admiration given to those of Michelangelo, whose work he obsessively imitated and whom he saw as a rival. Yet Bandinelli's drawings, which have in the past masqueraded as Michelangelos in connoisseurs' collections, came into their own in the later twentieth century. Bandinelli was buried on 7 February 1560.Sy Scholfield cites birth documents quoted in "Baccio Bandinelli and art at the Medici court: a corpus of early modern sources, Volume 251" by Louis Alexander Waldman (American Philosophical Society, 2004), p. 7: "born in Florence (an hour before sunset) and baptized the following day . . . In the earlier literature BB's birthdate was often given as 1488, based on the erroneous assumption that the baptismal record of his uncle, Bartolomeo di Viviano di Bartolomeo, dated 7 October 1488 (Doc. 11), referred to him. In the 'Libri d'età' of the Archivio delle Tratte, however, the correct birthdate is corroborated: 'Messer Bartolomeo di Michelagnolo di Viviano Bandinelli adì 12 di novembre 1493' (ASF, Tratte, 81 [ex 444bis], fol. 9). 21. 1493, November 13."
