Prophets

Baccio Bandinelli was an able sculptor and a shrewd court follower, but his tendency to please his patron often prevented him from rising to the heights of truly great art. His style took its oversize aspects from Michelangelo, but his interpretation focused on massive muscular bodies rather than abstract heroic ideas.

The low relief of Prophets on the chancel screen in the Duomo was made with the collaboration of Giovanni Bandini. The way Michelangelo’s ideals have been adopted is interesting.
