Vasari wrote that this artist was an atheist who left Florence for his hometown after painting an unpopular altarpiece originally commissioned for Leonardo. Daphne turns into a laurel tree in the background of his Combat of Love and Chastity. The motto "Timete Deum" can be seen in his portrait of Francesco delle Opere, while John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene strangely adopt the same clasped hands pose in his Crucifixion with Saints.  Although he taught Pinturicchio, his most famous student's Marriage of the Virgin features a central structure taken from this artist's best known work. That painting by this artist features two triumphal arches in the background, as well as scenes that depict the stoning of Christ and the tribute money. That Sistine Chapel fresco shows the Temple of Solomon in the background as a kneeling apostle receives the title golden object from Jesus. For 10 points, name this artist of Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter, the teacher of Raphael.
