Most of his sculptures, as opposed to medals, were small bronzes for the Medici, of the sort Giambologna produced a century later. Vasari does not give him his own biography, but mentions him several times, as the link between Donatello and Michelangelo. Only two pieces are signed, a statuette of Orpheus in Vienna, and the Mehmet medal, but by the Frick exhibition in 2019, the first to be dedicated to him, 24 objects were attributed to him, some in wood and plaster.
