BACCIO D' AGNOLO (c. 1460–1543), Florentine See also:wood-See also:carver, sculptor and architect., had the See also:family name of Baglioni, but was always known by the See also:abbreviation of Bartolommeo into Baccio and the use of d'Agnolo as meaning the son of Angelo, his See also:father's name. He started as a wood-carver, and between 1491 and 1502 did much of the decorative See also:carving in the See also:- CHURCH

church of See also:Santa Maria Novella and the Palazzo Vecchio in See also:Florence. Having made his reputation as a sculptor he appears to have turned his See also:attention to See also:architecture, and to have studied at See also:Rome, though at what precise date is uncertain; but quite at the beginning of the 16th See also:century he was engaged with See also:Simon Pollajuolo in restoring the Palazzo Vecchio, and in 1506 he was commissioned to See also:complete the See also:drum of the See also:cupola of the See also:metropolitan church of Santa Maria del Fiore. The latter See also:work, however, was interrupted on See also:account of adverse criticisms from See also:Michelangelo, and it remained unexecuted. Baccio d' Agnolo also planned the See also:Villa See also:Borghese and the See also:Bartolini See also:palace, with other See also:fine palaces and villas. The Bartolini palace was the first See also:house to be given frontispieces of columns to the See also:door and windows, previously confined to churches; and he was ridiculed by the Florentines for his innovation. Another much-admired work by him was the campanile of the church of Santo Spirito. His studio was the resort of the most celebrated artists of the See also:day, Michelangelo, See also:Sansovino, the See also:brothers See also:Sangallo and the See also:young See also:Raphael. He died in 1543, leaving three sons, all architects, the best-known being Giuliano.
