Daniele da Volterra (Volterra, 1509 - Rome, 1566), also known as Daniele Ricciarelli, was an Italian mannerist painter and sculptor. He initially studied with the Siennese artists Il Sodoma and Baldassare Peruzzi. He appears to have accompanied the latter to Rome in 1535, and helped paint the frescoes in the Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne. He later became an apprentice to the older Michelangelo. Da Volterra is infamous for having covered over with vestments and fig-leafs the genitals in the Last Judgement fresco on the wall of the Sistine Chapel. This earned him the nickname "Il Bragghetone" ("the pants-maker"). Mannerism is the usual English term for an approach to all the arts, particularly painting but not exclusive to it, a reaction to the High Renaissance, emerging after the Sack of Rome in 1527 shook Renaissance confidence, humanism and rationality to their foundations, and even Religion had split apart. ...
