  Sebastiano Del Piombo - LoveToKnow 1911
Sebastiano directed that his burial, in the church of S Maria del Popolo, should be conducted without ceremony of priests, friars or lights, and that the cost thus saved should go to the poor; in this he was obeyed.
Numerous pupils sought training from Sebastiano del Piombo; but, owing to his dilatory and self-indulgent habits, they learned little from him, with the exception of Tommaso Laureti.
Sebastiano, conscious of his deficiency in the higher sphere of invention, made himself especially celebrated as a portrait painter : the likeness of Andrea Doria, in the Doria Palace, Rome, is one of the most renowned.

 Bologna - Centre piazza Maggiore and around | Footprint Guides   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Bologna's bronze statue of the Roman God of the Sea might as well have been conceived as a statue to the God of Photography, so much has it become a symbol of the city and a favourite backdrop for posing visitors who adorn the putti (chubby cherubs) and mermaids at his feet.
Completed between 1563 and 1566 and known affectionately as il Gigante due to its size, the statue is the work of the Flemish sculptor known as Jean de Boulogne, or in Italian, Giambologna for the amount of time he spent working in the city, and is based on a design by Tommaso Laureti.
The statue was commissioned by bishop Pier Donato Cesi as part of an urban beautification programme requested by the then Pope Pio IV and aimed at making Papal Bologna the second city in Italy after Rome.

These paintings are highly influenced by my Catholic upbringing - a religion I later rejected as depicted in the painting Lost Faith.
Lost Faith (oil on canvas, 20in x 48in, 1996) is a homage to Tommaso Laureti’s "The Triumph of the Cross Over the Fallen Pagan Idol." In the original, a cross occupies the pedestal and a broken statue of Mercury is scattered on the floor.
In this homage, however, it is the cross that lies fallen, but the pedestal remains empty.

The window became much more than a simple mechanical aid.
According to Danti (1583), Tommaso Laureti produced a model window specifically to demonstrate the principles of perspective, an idea subsequently taken up by the French Academy of Sciences.
As early as the 1490's Leonardo da Vinci devised games which used the window principles to improve one's judgment of distance.16 Later authors such as Accolti (1625) and Bosse (1648) used the window to reveal reciprocal relationships of size and distance and as a tool for imposing a geometrical framework on nature.
