1560 Bartolommeo Florentine Sculptor Statues Baccio Bandinelli Surname
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Baccio Bandinelli, the Florentine Master Sculptor: A Portrait from the Year 1560" This evocative photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of Baccio Bandinelli (1493-1560), a renowned Florentine sculptor of the High Renaissance period. Born as Bartolommeo Brandini, Baccio adopted the name Baccio as a nickname, which means "little bag" in Italian, possibly due to his round face or full beard. The image, believed to have been taken around 1560, depicts Bandinelli in his later years. He is shown wearing a simple hat, likely a beret, and a full beard that frames his face. The sculptor's intense gaze and furrowed brow suggest a deep concentration and dedication to his craft. Bandinelli's hands, which were instrumental in creating some of the most iconic statues of the Renaissance, are not visible in the photograph. However, the image still conveys a sense of the artist's creative energy and artistic mastery. Baccio Bandinelli's most famous works include "Hercules and Cacus," "David," and "Jupiter and Antiope." His sculptures were characterized by their dynamic poses, naturalistic forms, and intricate details. Bandinelli's influence extended beyond Florence, as his works were commissioned by popes and other European rulers. Despite his success, Bandinelli's life was marked by financial difficulties and personal tragedies, including the death of his wife and several of his children. This photograph print offers a rare glimpse into the life of a master artist whose works continue to inspire and captivate audiences around the world. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us through time and connect us to the past.
