Daniele da Volterra

Italian painter and sculptor

1509 CE to 1566 CE

Daniele Ricciarelli (c. 1509 – April 4, 1566), better known as Daniele da Volterra, is an Italian mannerist painter and sculptor.

He is best remembered for his association, for better or worse, with the late Michelangelo.

Several of Daniele's most important works are based on designs made for that purpose by Michelangelo.

After Michelangelo's death Daniele is hired to cover the genitals in his Last Judgment with vestments and loincloths.

This earns him the nickname "Il Braghettone" ("the breeches maker").
