          Mature Sculpture

          In , Bandinelli started work on his Pieta (, SS. Annunziata, Florence). Vasari relates that when Bandinelli heard Michelangelo was carving a Pieta for his tomb, he immediately began to plan his own.

          He finished the work just before his death six years later. Like Michelangelo's version, Bandinelli's Pieta includes an idealised self-portrait of Christ being supported by Joseph of Arimathea or Nicodemus.

          Michelangelo's Florence Pietà can be seen as the artist's last statement concerning spirituality.

          Many however considered Bandinelli's Christ too muscular and strangely portioned. The amount of marble carved out of the block is astounding yet this 'anti-Michelangelesque' practice would become an artistic trend in future years.
