(b. 1540, Castello, d. 1599, Firenze)

Choir-screen (detail)

c. 1572
Marble
Duomo, Florence

Bandini's apprenticeship in Baccio Bandinelli's Florentine workshop probably began c. 1555. With his master's death in 1560, he was asked to complete the choir-screen of Florence Cathedral, begun by Bandinelli in 1547; he executed the bas-reliefs on the western side of the screen, completed in 1572 (in situ).
