Sangallo the Younger, Antonio da
- Sangallo the Younger, Antonio da
(1485-1546)
Italian architect, the nephew of
Giuliano da Sangallo and
Antonio da Sangallo the Elder. In c. 1503, Antonio went to
Rome where he first worked with
Donato Bramante at
St.
Peter's, acting as his assistant and draughtsman. In c. 1539, he was put in charge of the basilica's construction. This proved to be a major debacle as the wooden model he produced was not well received by his contemporaries. One of his harshest critics was none other than
Michelangelo, who in 1564 completed the building. Antonio's most notable work is the
Palazzo Farnese in Rome (c. 1513—1546), commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro
Farnese to serve as his principal residence. In 1534, the cardinal ascended the papal throne as
Paul III and asked Antonio to increase the size of the original design to reflect his new position of power. Much to Antonio's mortification, the pope also announced a competition for the palace's cornice. Michelangelo won and, after Antonio died, he completed this building as well.
