He wished to be buried in Florence, but the pope wouldn't allow it, so his nephew secretly shipped out the body in an unmarked packing crate. The antiquities collection of Lorenzo de' Medici inspired his early work Battle of the Centaurs and Lapiths and he completed the Palazzo Farnese. In Rome, he designed uniforms for the Vatican guards and worked on the reconstruction of St. Peter's for a while. The face of St. Bartholomew in The Last Judgement is his and he also created a famous series of Pietas. For ten points, name this artist who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
