It was a Hercules, and from Baccio's talk it was expected to surpass Buonarroti's David; but as his deeds did not correspond with his words, nor the work to his boasts, Baccio lost greatly in the esteem of artists and of all the city.
Baccio, desiring to hear what people said of it, sent an old pedagogue whom he kept in the house into the piazza, bidding him report to him what he heard.
Nor could Baccio conceal his opinion, but betrayed it to every one, and he now found one ready to answer him; for saying evil things of Benvenuto in the presence of the duke, Benvenuto, who was no less proud, gave him back what he received.

Bandinelli's group represents Hercules and Cacus (1534), the anatomy of which was scathingly described by Cellini as a 'sack of melons'.
The venomous rivalry between Bandinelli and Cellini is graphically portrayed in the latter's autobiography.
Bandinelli's finest sculptures are perhaps the series of marble reliefs in the choir of Florence Cathedral.

 Art History
Baccio Bandinelli and Art at the Medici Court: A Corpus of Early Modern Sources by Louis Alexander Waldman (American Philosophical Society) More than five centuries after his birth, the contradictions embodied by the Florentine sculptor Baccio Bandinelli (1493–1560) remain as mysterious as ever.
But the originality and power of Bandinelli's work, and the long shad-ow it cast over the arts in sixteenth-century Florence and Rome, are as unmistakably clear today as they were to the artist's Medici patrons, who recognized his art as a potent tool for constructing an image of dynastic legitimacy.
All of Bandinelli's major artistic commissions are fully documented, as is his establishment of one of the earliest artistic academies.

 Raphael and His Age - FRAME
The technique of this drawing, attributed to Francesco Salviati both by Catherine Monbeig Goguel (in a letter to Barbara Brejon de Lavergnée of 1995) and by the compiler, is inspired by Baccio Bandinelli, one of the most distinctive and assured draftsmen active in Florence during the second and third decades of the cinquecento.
Salviati worked with Bandinelli for a while as a teenager and clearly relished his red-chalk style, in which suppression of individual strokes created "touchless," subtly modulated surfaces (Fig.
The contour is also drawn more distinctly, with more constant pressure, than is habitual in Bandinelli; indeed its wire-like tension is close to the contours of the chalk drawings of Rosso Fiorentino, another artist who profoundly influenced Salviati, and to whom many of the latter’s drawings have, in the past, been attributed.

 Biography
The commission had originally been intended for Michelangelo himself, and Bandinelli's ponderous figure, which he had boasted would surpass David, was ridiculed by Cellini and others.
Bandinelli had a habit of failing to fulfil his commissions and Cellini's accusations of incompetence had much justification.
In return, Bandinelli attempted to sabotage Cellini's career, as he also did with another rival, Ammanati.

 Restoration of the statue of Hercules and Cacus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Bandinelli realised that the block was not big enough for the group which had been chosen by the Pope; he thus prepared other wax models, among which Clemens VII chose the one which was to be made.
Bandinelli moulded then an earthenware model as big as the block of marble and carved the statue as far as the abdomen of Hercules, when in 1527 news of the sack of Rome reached Florence.
In 1534, having Bandinelli finished the statue, work was started on the marble base of the monument, first putting medals and memorial letters of Clemens VII and Duke Alessandro inside.

 Wanderer in Florence, A   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The group on the right represents Hercules and Cacus, [5] and is by Baccio Bandinelli (1485-1560), a coarse and offensive man, jealous of most people and particularly of Michelangelo, to whom, but for his displeasing Pope Clement VII, the block of marble from which the Hercules was carved would have been given.
Bandinelli in his delight at obtaining it vowed to surpass that master's David, and those who want to know what Florence thought of his effort should consult the amusing and malicious pages of Cellini's Autobiography.
On its way to Bandinelli's studio the block fell into the Arrio, and it was a joke of the time that it had drowned itself to avoid its fate at the sculptor's hands.

 Renaissance Connection
The Italian sculptor Baccio Bandinelli (1488-1560) commissioned this engraving from printmaker Enea Vico to celebrate his achievements as an artist.
Bandinelli is the figure wearing a cross on his chest at the extreme right.
During the Renaissance, the training of a sculptor included the understanding of mathematical perspective, optics, geometry and anatomy, elevating the status of the artist from the mechanical guilds of goldsmithing and carpentry to the liberal art of poetry.

 Bartolommeo Bandinelli Biography
Bartolommeo (or Baccio) Bandinelli (November 12, 1493 - February 7, 1560), Florentine sculptor, was the son of an eminent goldsmith, and from him Bandinelli obtained the first elements of drawing.
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.

 Pietà by BANDINELLI, Baccio
Vasari relates that when Bandinelli heard Michelangelo was carving a Pietà for his tomb, he immediately began to plan his own, which he finished shortly before he died.
Like Michelangelo's, it includes an idealized self-portrait as Joseph of Arimathea or Nicodemus and was to be a four-figure group with St Catherine of Siena and St John the Baptist.
The Christ may be a portrait of Bandinelli's son.

In 1528, with the republicans in control, Michelangelo was given the block for a Samson and Philistine but after the Medici return in 1530 he was instructed to resume work in the chapel and Bandinelli to continue the Hercules and Cacus.

Already a student of Guglielmo da Marcilla, Vasari removed to Florence when he was just 13 years of age to continue his studies under Michelangelo, Andrea del Sarto and Baccio Bandinelli.
Later, after a four-year period in Rome, 1542-6, highlighted by the major painting cycle that he executed for the Palazzo della Cancelleria [Chancellery] under the patronage of Cardinal Farnese, Vasari returned to Florence.

After the death of Leo, the stone was assigned to Baccio Bandinelli; but Michelangelo, being in favour with the Government at the time.
Michelangelo had some reason to be jealous of Bandinelli, who exercised considerable influence at the Medicean court, and was an unscrupulous enemy both in word and deed.
His first intention, in which Bandinelli followed him, was to execute a Hercules trampling upon Cacus, which should stand as pendant to his own David.
