Baccio Bandinelli (1493-1560) had mastered the canons of the High Renaissance, applying them during the early days of that elongated variation later known as Mannerism. His work was defined and driven by the Florentine concept of disegno, the idealized shaping and disposition of three-dimensional figures when transferred into two dimensions on the page.
