Painter, sculptor and architect of Florence, 1475 - 1564

	"Piero Soderini, who was then Gonfalonier, had part of the Council Chamber allocated to Michelangelo; and that is why he painted the other wall in competition with Leonardo, taking as his subject an episode in the Pisan War...He started work on a vast cartoon which he refused to let anyone see."

	"Among the soldiers was the figure of an old man wearing a garland of ivy to shade his head; he is sitting down to pull on his stockings, but he cannot do so because his legs are wet from the water...There were also many groups of figures drawn in different ways: some outlined in charcoal, others sketched with a few strokes, some shaded gradually and heightened with lead-white."
