==Selected works==
Baccio Bandinelli's works include:<!--a better list is in German wikipedia-->
* copy of the [[Laocoön group]], at the time in the [[Cortile del Belvedere]], commissioned by [[Pope Leo X]] as a gift to [[Francis I of France|François I]]. Bandinelli boasted that he would exceed the original, and when he was finished, after a hiatus during the pontificate of [[Pope Adrian VI|Adrian VI]], the Medici [[Pope Clement VII]] could not bear to part with it, sent some antiquities to the King of France in its stead, and sent Baccio's ''Laocoön'' to Florence. It remains at the [[Uffizi]].
* Tombs of the [[Medici]] popes [[Pope Leo X|Leo X]] and [[Pope Clement VII|Clement VII]] in [[Santa Maria sopra Minerva]] (1536–41).
* ''Bust of Cosimo I de' Medici'' (c. 1539–40) ([[Metropolitan Museum of Art]], acc. no. 1987.280) This had been locked away in a vault in a Swiss bank until a dealer's tip led the curator [[Olga Raggio]] to its rediscovery.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The New York Times|last=Fox|first=Margalit|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/06/arts/design/06raggio.html|title=Olga Raggio, a Scholar and Art Curator, Dies at 82|date=5 February 2009}}</ref>
* ''Monument to Giovanni delle Bande Nere'' (1540–54), a seated figure on a magnificent pedestal, in piazza San Lorenzo, Florence
* ''Pietà'' in the [[Basilica della Santissima Annunziata di Firenze|Basilica della Santissima Annunziata]], Florence, where Bandinelli portrayed himself<ref>Bandinelli's penchant for self-portraits, both hidden and overt, is well documented.  Bandinelli's terracotta ''Head of Saint Paul'', [[Ashmolean Museum]], Oxford, is actually a self-portrait. Izabella Galicka and Hanna Sygietyńska, "A Newly Discovered Self-Portrait by Baccio Bandinelli" ''The Burlington Magazine'' '''134''', No. 1077 (December 1992, pp. 805–807) p. 805 note.</ref> in the figure of Joseph of Arimathea. Bandinelli is buried in the chapel, with his wife Giacoma Doni.
* ''Ceres'' and ''Apollo'' (1552–1556) for niches in the façade of [[Bernardo Buontalenti|Buontalenti]]'s grotto in the [[Boboli Gardens]]

[[Image:Palazzo Medici Riccardi, baccio bandinelli, scultura nel cortile 2.JPG|thumb|220px|right|''Orpheus'', now in the courtyard of the [[Palazzo Medici-Riccardi]], Florence]]

* ''Orpheus'' for Palazzo Vecchio, now in the courtyard of the [[Palazzo Medici-Riccardi]]. One of Bandinelli's few signed works.
* Works for the [[Santa Maria del Fiore|Duomo]], Florence, including the high altar and its ''Adam and Eve'' (1551), now in the [[Bargello]] and ''Pietà'' now in the crypt of Santa Croce; much-praised bas-reliefs made for the enclosure of the choir, designed by the architect Giuliano di Baccio d'Angnolo (1555), now in the [[Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (Florence)|Museo dell'Opera del Duomo]]; ''Saint Peter'', one of eight apostles by various sculptors in the piers of the crossing.
* Works in [[Palazzo Vecchio]], including, in the Audience Hall, a statue of ''Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici'' and one of ''Pope Leo X blessing'' (finished after Bandinelli's death by [[Vincenzo de' Rossi]])
* ''God the Father'' (1549) in Santa Croce cloister
* ''Andrea Doria as Neptune'', outside [[Carrara Cathedral]]. When Carrara was lost for a short while to the Genoese Republic, Bandinelli was commissioned to sculpt [[Andrea Doria]]. Afterwards the Florentine Republic recaptured the city and such a symbol of Genoese dominion was rendered inappropriate, so the statue was renamed [[Neptune (mythology)|Neptune]]. This rechristening as the Roman sea divinity was suggested by the fountain sea creatures at the statue's base.
* In the Bargello are also a number of lesser works: ''Noah'' (bas-relief), portrait busts of Eleonora di Toledo and Cosimo I de' Medici, ''Venus'', ''Leda'', ''Hercules'', ''Bacchus'' ''Cleopatra'' and a portrait bust of an unknown man.
* A youthful portrait by [[Andrea del Sarto]] c. 1517 is conserved at the [[Uffizi]].
