Context: This seated nude comes from a series of red chalk drawings that Bandinelli based loosely on Michelangelo's ignudi (nudes) on the Sistine Chapel ceiling (1508-12) . The Seated Male Nude is a finished work of art: the forms have precise outlines and are filled in with painstaking hatching that renders the figure in careful relief. Bandinelli prized these drawings and encouraged his heirs to save them for posterity.One of the most important Italian sculptors of the 16th century, Bandinelli created works that reflect the influence of ancient models as well as a dependence on disegno (drawing). Bandinelli's drawings were prized both during and after his lifetime by his many admirers and students (he opened one of the first drawing academies of Renaissance Italy). As he said himself, "All my concentration was fixed on drawing: in the judgement of Michelangelo, of our Princes, and other notables, it is above all in that activity that I have prevailed."
