1509 -1566 · Roman mannerism and the legacy of Michelangelo
Monumental anatomy, black stone drawings, severe portraits and sacred stories make Daniele da Volterra Michelangelo's most faithful Roman heir.
Born Daniele Ricciarelli in Volterra in 1509, Daniele da Volterra received initial training between his hometown and Siena before settling in Rome in the 1530s. He worked in the Perino del Vaga community then became closer to Michelangelo, of whom he became the friend, collaborator and one of the main interpreters. His Descent from the Cross for the Orsini Chapel at the Trinity of the Mountains imposes a powerfully articulated composition, based on anatomy, shortcut and tension of gestures. Daniele also practices portraiture, drawing and sculpture; his Descent from the Cross for the Orsini Chapel at the Trinity of the Mountains imposes a powerfully articulated composition, based on anatomy, shortcut and tension of gestures. Daniele also practices portraiture, drawing and sculpture; his effigy of Michelangelo is among the old master's most memorable images. After his death in 1564, he is responsible for attenuating the nudity of certain figures of the Last Judgment of the Sistine Chapel, an intervention which earned him the posthumous nickname of Braghettone. This reputation has long masked the variety of his work. He died in Rome in 1566. The "Daniele da Volterra" selection notably compares Virgin and Child, Saint John the Baptist as a child and Saint Barbara and Michelangelo Buonarroti. His reading favors the story.
Daniele transforms Michelangelo's lesson into a narrative discipline: the monumental body becomes the visible driving force of the drama.
