See also:TORRIGIANO, PIETRO (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 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. After some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

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 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 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.
