[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [b] [QUOTE] "Of Michelangelo there are no other portraits than two paintings, one bv the hand of Bugiardino (Giuliano Bugiardini) and the other by Jacopo del Conte (Jacopino del Conto)"[/b] --1550, Giorgio Vasari, Giorgio Vasari, Italian painter, architect, writer, and historian, most famous today for his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, considered the ideological foundation of art-historical writing. [/QUOTE][IMG]https://i.imgbox.com/Slm3hnxM.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgbox.com/QDTaV6l3.png[/IMG] [b]Portrait of Michelangelo Wearing a Turban by Giuliano Bugiardini 1522 Oil on wood, 49 x 36 cm Casa Buonarroti, Florence[/b] Michelangelo's nose was reported by Cellini that it was broken by Pietro Torrigiani, a sculptor three years Michelangelo’s elder, when they were both ‘boys’. Vasari adds that Pietro then fled Florence for fear of what the ruler Lorenzo might do, and that would place the latest date for the mishap as 1492, when Lorenzo de’ Medici died. Cellini was reporting a conversation he had with Torrigiani which he dated to around 1517, when Torrigiani was visiting from England, looking for skilled sculptors to come work for him there on a commission by Henry VIII. Cellini’s words run as follows: [b]“Now let us return to Piero Torrigiani, who, with my drawing in his hand, spoke as follows: “This Buonarroti and I used, when we were boys, to go into the Church of the Carmine, to learn drawing from the chapel of Masaccio. It was Buonarroti’s habit to banter all who were drawing there; and one day, among others, when he was annoying me, I got more angry than usual, and clenching my fist, gave him such a blow on the nose, that I felt bone and cartilage go down like biscuit beneath my knuckles; and this mark of mine he will carry with him to the grave.” These words begat in me such hatred of the man, since I was always gazing at the masterpieces of the divine Michel Agnolo, that although I felt a wish to go with him to England, I now could never bear the sight of him.” [/b] [IMG]https://i.imgbox.com/RTm5grlK.png[/IMG] Portrait of Michelangelo by Jacopo del Conte circa 1540 [/QB][/QUOTE]
