	Jacopo Sansovino - LoveToKnow 1911
		Jacopo's chief claim to distinction rests upon the numerous fine Venetian buildings which he designed, such as the public library, the mint, the Scuola della Misericordia, the Palazzo de' Cornari and the Palazzo Delfino, with its magnificent staircase - the last two both on the grand canal.
		In 1545 the roof of the public library, which he was then constructing, fell in; on this account he was imprisoned, fined and dismissed from the office of chief architect of the cathedral, to which he had been appointed by a decree of the signoria on the 7th of April 1529.
		Sansovino's architectural works have much beauty of proportion and grace of ornament, a little marred in some cases by an excess of sculptured decoration, though the carving itself is always beautiful, both in design and execution.

		Giorgio Vasari, the artist and early art historian of the period, attests that Sansovino was of average height, "not at all fat," with a pale complexion and a red beard.
		Sansovino was warmly received in Venice, Lorenzo Lotto referring to him upon his arrival as "second only to Michaelangelo." With the encouragement of Doge Andrea Gritti, Sansovino quickly became the most influential architect of Venice and his imprint is found throughout the city today.
		Sansovino was also involved with three parish churches--S. Martino, S. Giuliano and S. Geminiano--and with the hospital church of the Incurabili.

	Biography
		Originally named Jacopo Tatti, he was trained in Florence by the sculptor Andrea Sansovino, whose name he adopted; his early sculpture was influenced principally by ancient classical works.
		Sansovino's masterpiece, the Libreria Vecchia (Old Library, 1536-88), on the Piazzetta San Marco, is based on the ancient Roman Theater of Marcellus; Doric columns frame the ground-floor arcade and Ionic columns frame that of the second floor to create a long, majestic façade.
		Sansovino was a strong influence on the later Venetian architects Andrea Palladio and Baldassare Longhena.

		Andrea del Sarto helped paint the narrative panels of this rich facade, which Leo X himself was said to have wished was the true facade of the cathedral.
		Upon his return to Rome in 1518, Sansovino’s design for the central-plan church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini (1518-21) was chosen over other entries by Raphael and Antonio da Sangallo, though he soon returned to Florence, where he designed a palace for the Gaddi family.
		Sansovino’s designs for Venetian palaces such as the Palazzo Corner (1545-66, called the Ca’ Grande) introduced novelties such as grand courtyards to Venetian palace design and augmented the ancient referents of the facade, while designs for churches such as S. Francesco della Vigna (1534) explored proportional and classicizing solutions to the disposition of interior space.

	Bacchus by SANSOVINO, Jacopo
		Sansovino worked on his Bacchus for Giovanni Bartolini, departing from Michelangelo's Bacchus which he had no doubt seen.
		Sansovino's god of wine and his joyful celebration contrast with Michelangelo's bloated, inebriated yet mysterious god.
		Vasari admired Sansovino's for its virtuoso carving, especially the extended arm, a technical feat which no ancient sculptor had accomplished in marble without a strut.

		THIS novelist was the son of the distinguished sculptor and architect, Jacopo Sansovino, and was born at Rome in the year 1521.
		Their want of originality is one of the least faults ascribed to them, inasmuch as he has been charged with having mutilated and disguised his borrowed subjects in the most unceremonious manner.
		Still Sansovino is by no means a solitary instance of the predatory genius of the novelists of the sixteenth century, indulged at the expense of the earlier and better writers of Italy.

	Charity - Jacopo Sansovino
		The bequest of the Altman Collection has increased from two to seven the examples of figure sculpture in Sansovino's style owned by the Museum, the two pieces previously shown being small Madonnas, one in bronze, the other in terracotta, the former attributed to the master himself, the other to his school.
		The group of Charity included among the Altman sculptures, repeats the type of these two Madonnas, although it is finer in quality and execution than they and may be accepted as a work from the master's own hand and an especially happy example of his skill.
		Sansovino always achieved in his figures something of the nobility and amplitude sought after as an ideal among artists of the time, and even in so small a group as the Charity one feels the splendid grace of the superhuman beings he strove to create.

		Like the original edifice it replaced (destroyed by lighning in 1489 and by an earthquake in 1511), it served as a civic meeting place or patrician house.

		Nel 1519 il Sansovino vinse il concorso per la chiesa di San Giovanni dei Fiorentini a Roma, ma il suo schema a pianta centrale verrà presto abbandonato.

	Mars And Venus - In The Style Of Jacopo Sansovino
		He was the contemporary, rival, and foe of Michelangelo, to whom, nevertheless, Sansovino owed many borrowed traits of style.
		Chief among the products of this school are many small bronzes intended for semi-useful purposes, of which the two pairs of monumental andirons in the Altman Collection are typical examples, evidencing the desire of the period for splendor and artistic quality even in the more prosaic details of household equipment.
		The pair surmounted by statuettes of Mars and Venus are perhaps less finished than works generally accepted as by Sansovino himself, but that artist's inspiration is obvious both in the type of the figures and in the sumptuous variety of motives which are assembled to form the bases.

		Sansovino's was adjudged to be the best, and a cast was taken of it in bronze, which finally coming into the possession of the Cardinal de Lorraine, was taken by him into France in the year 1534.
		It is mainly to the happy influence exerted by Sansovino that the School of Venice is indebted for its celebrity in ornamental bronze-work.

		In 1505 Sansovino was invited to Rome by Pope Julius II to make the monuments of Cardinal Ascanio Maria Sforza and Cardinal Girolamo della Rovere for the retro-choir of Santa Maria del Popolo.
		The architectural parts of these monuments and their sculptured foliage are extremely graceful and executed with the most minute delicacy, but the recumbent effigies show the beginning of a serious decline in taste.
		In 1512, while still in Rome, Sansovino executed a very beautiful group of the Madonna and Child with St. Anne, now over one of the side altars in the church of Sant'Agostino.

		In the Doric frieze above, six of the roundels decorating the metopes display figural reliefs that are very hard to decipher in the gloom into which the door is plunged by the barrel vault above.
		Despite its being part of a major Venetian building designed by the premier architect of Venice in the sixteenth century, Jacopo Sansovino, and despite its prepossessing nature, this door has received almost no scholarly attention.
		Dating and attributing the doorway also allow us to recognize that it formed part of a conscious program of figural portal sculpture, all connected to Sansovino and commissioned in 1553-54, set around the Piazzetta, the political and ceremonial core of the city.
