	Michelangelo -
		In that year a marble Cupid by Michelangelo was treacherously sold to Cardinal Raffaele Riario as an ancient piece: the prelate discovered the cheat, but was so impressed by the quality of the sculpture that he invited the artist to Rome, where he arrived on June 26 1496.
		He was again in his city between the end of 1495 and the June of 1496: if Leonardo considered Savonarola a fanatic and left the city, Michelangelo was touched by the friar's preaching, by the associated moral severity and by the hope of renovation of the Roman Church.
		Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, commonly known as Michelangelo, (March 6, 1475 - February 18, 1564) was a Renaissance sculptor, architect, painter, and poet.

	Ave Maria - The Making of The Pieta
		The penniless young Michelangelo had one of his statues, a small Cupid, buried, then "discovered," and sold in Rome as a classical antiquity.
		Michelangelo, now 21 and on fire to put hammer and chisel to marble, was kept dangling by Cardinal Riario for a whole year because the cardinal could not make up his mind what theme he wanted his young sculptor to pursue.
		However, the purchaser of the marble, astute Cardinal Riario, detected the fraud, and had Michelangelo brought to Rome - not to punish but to employ him, since the statue had shown promise.

		Cupid, commissioned by the abbot de Ia Grolaie; marble; lost; has been commonly identified as the Kneeling Cupid of the Victoria and Albert Museum, but this, if by Michelangelo at all, which is not quite certain, must in all likelihood belong to a later time.
		The Moses, originally intended for one of the angles of the upper course, is now placed at the level of the eye; in the centre of the principal face of the monument as it was at last finished, on a deplorably reduced and altered scale, by Michelangelo and his assistants in his old age.
		The motive of the Christ-child frightened by the flutterings of the bird held out by~ St John is the most playful in all Michelangelos work; the whole design shows the influence of Leonardo in his gentler, as much as the cartoon of the Bathers shows it in his more violent, moods.

		In the same way, he earlier had called his "Cupid," also carved in Florence but the cause of fuss in Rome when it was sent there in the guise of an ancient rather than a modern work, the bambino.
		When the sculptor, painter, architect and poet - mark the length of that list - Michelangelo Buonarroti was working on his statue "David" that would establish him as the greatest stone carver of his day in Italy or the world, he referred to it casually as the "giant" (gigante).

	Apollo: Parmigianino and Raphael: a note on the foreground baby from the Massacre of the Innocents
		Nevertheless, given Raphael's special attention to the foreground figures on the British Museum study, it is worth considering the possiblity that the baby later adapted by Parmigianino for his Sleeping Cupid had already been placed at the centre foreground of the Massacre composition.

		Parmigianino had a special interest in the baby positioned at the centre foreground in the Massacre print, right arm folded across the chest and left arm stretched out to touch the kneeling mother's skirt.

		In the wings off David's tribune are large paintings by Michelangelo's contemporaries, mannerists over whom he had a very strong influence -- they even say Michelangelo provided the original drawing from which Pontormo painted his amorous Venus and Cupid.
		Apartamenti Reali -- The other wing of the piano nobile is taken up with the Medici's private apartments, which were reopened in 1993 after being restored to their late-19th-century appearance when the kings of the House of Savoy, rulers of the Unified Italy, used the suites as their Florentine home.

	Definition of Agnolo Bronzino
		Bronzino's skill with the nude was better deployed in the celebrated Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time, which conveys strong feelings of eroticism under the pretext of a moralizing allegory.
		He was less successful as a religious painter, his lack of real feeling leading to empty, elegant posturing, as in The Martyrdom of San Lorenzo (1569), in which almost every one of the extraordinarily contorted poses can be traced back to Raphael or to Michelangelo, whom Bronzino idolized.
		Bronzino's style to was indebted to his master, Pontormo, however he lacked the emotional intensity that was such a characteristic of Pontormo's work and excelled as a portraitist rather than a religious painter.

		Maria Novella; and being absent one day, Michelangelo set himself to draw from nature the whole scaffolding, with some easels and all the appurtenances of the art, and a few of the young men at work there.

	Scholar: famed “Greek” statue is a fake by Michelangelo
		But “a reevaluation of the Laocoön and the circumstances of its ‘discovery’ together with startling new evidence lead to the conclusion that the statue is actually a modern forgery by Michelangelo,” the academy’s statement said.
		“Before earning the status of a great original, Michelangelo began his career as a forger,” wrote Aviva Briefel of Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, in the Spring 2003 issue of the journal American Imago, a research journal.
		The real creator was the famed Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, she insists.

		Sandrart praises Amor’s wings, "drawn so correctly and with such strong colouring, clarity and relief that it all comes to life," and tells us that the Cupid attached to the wings was "about twelve." A subsequent English visitor to Rome recorded the model as being Caravaggio’s "owne boy" (i.e.
		In 1602, shortly after Amor Vincit was completed, Cardinal Benedetto Giustiniani, Vincenzo’s brother and collaborator in the creation of the Giustiniani collection of contemporary art, commissioned a painting from the noted artist Giovanni Baglione.
