Torregiani, painter and sculptor of secondary importance, but a bully of the first class, a man who was in the habit of knocking about the artists whom he could not equal, and of breaking both their models and their heads, had been accustomed to copy in the Brancacci chapel, among the rest.
He had been much annoyed, according to his own account, by Michel Angelo's habit of laughing at the efforts of artists inferior in skill to himself, and had determined to punish him. One day, Buonarotti came into the chapel as usual, and whistled and sneered at a copy which Torregiani was making.
This was when both were very young men; but Torregiani, when relating the story many years afterwards, always congratulated himself that Buonarotti would bear the mark of the blow all his life. It may be added, that the bully met a hard fate afterwards.
