PIETRO See also:TORRIGIANO (1472-1522)
, Florentine sculptor, was, according to See also:Vasari, one of the See also:group of talented youths who studied See also:art under the patronage of Lorenzo the Magnificent in See also:Florence
.
Benvenuto See also:Cellini, See also:reporting a conversation with See also:Torrigiano, relates that he and See also:Michelangelo, while both See also:young, were copying the frescoes in the See also:Carmine See also:chapel, when some slighting remark made by Michelangelo so enraged Torrigiano that he struck him on the See also:nose, and thus caused that disfigurement which is so conspicuous in all the portraits of Michelangelo
.
Soon after this Torrigiano visited See also:Rome, and helped See also:Pinturicchio in modelling the elaborate See also:stucco decorations in the
Apartamenti See also:Borgia for See also:Alexander VI
.

time spent as a hired soldier in the service of different states, Torrigiano was invited to See also:England to execute the magnificent See also:tomb for See also:- HENRY

Henry VII. and his See also:queen, which still exists in the See also:lady chapel of See also:Westminster See also:Abbey
.
This appears to have been begun before the See also:death of Henry VII. in 1509, but was not finished till 1517
.
The two See also:effigies are well modelled, and have lifelike but not too realistic portraits
.
After this Torrigiano received the See also:commission for the See also:altar, See also:retable and baldacchino which stood at the See also:west, outside the See also:screen of Henry VII.'s tomb
.
The altar had See also:marble pilasters at the angles, two of which still exist, and below the See also:mensa was a See also:life-sized figure of the dead See also:Christ in painted terra-See also:cotta
.
The retable consisted of a large See also:relief of the Resurrection
.
The baldacchino was of marble, with enrichments of gilt See also:bronze; See also:part of its See also:frieze still exists, as do also a large number of fragments of the terra-cotta angels which surmounted the baldacchino and parts of the large figure of Christ
.
The whole of this See also:work was destroyed by the Puritans in the 17th See also:century.' Henry VIII. also commissioned Torrigiano to make him a magnificent tomb, somewhat similar to that of Henry VII., but one-See also:fourth larger, to be placed in a chapel at See also:Windsor; it was, however, never completed, and its See also:rich bronze was melted by the See also:Commonwealth, together with that of See also:Wolsey's tomb
.
The indentures for these various See also:works still exist, and are printed by See also:Neale, Westminster Abbey, i
.
54-59 (See also:London, 1818)

These interesting documents are written in See also:English, and in them the Florentine is called " See also:- PETER
- PETER (Lat. Petrus from Gr. irfpos, a rock, Ital. Pietro, Piero, Pier, Fr. Pierre, Span. Pedro, Ger. Peter, Russ. Petr)
- PETER (PEDRO)
- PETER, EPISTLES OF
- PETER, ST
Peter Torrysany." For Henry VII.'s tomb he contracted to receive £1500, for the altar and its fittings £See also:i000, and £2000 for Henry VIII.'s tomb
.
Other works attributed from See also:internal See also:evidence to Torrigiano are the tomb of See also:Margaret of See also:Richmond, See also:mother of Henry VII., in the See also:south See also:aisle of his chapel, and a terra-cotta effigy in the chapel of the Rolls
.
While these royal works were going on Torrigiano visited Florence in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to get skilled assistants
.
He tried to induce Benvenuto Cellini to come to England to help him, but Cellini refused partly from his dislike to the brutal and swaggering See also:manners of Torrigiano, and also because he did not wish to live among " such beasts as the English." The latter part of Torrigiano's life was spent in See also:Spain, especially at See also:Seville, where, besides the painted figure of St Hieronymus in the museum, some terra-cotta See also:sculpture by him still exists
.
His violent See also:temper got him into difficulties with the authorities, and he ended his life in 1522 in the prisons of the See also:Inquisition
