Description:
Bandinelli was a leader in the group of Florentine Mannerists who were inspired by the revived interest in Donatello attendant on the installation of Donatello's bas-relief panels for the pulpit in San Lorenzo, 1515. Most of Bandinelli's large scale works are considered failures, but his smaller scale bas-reliefs were praised. He received his commissions from the Medici family.
