Giambologna was an important influence on later sculptors through his pupils Adriaen de Vries and Pietro Francavilla who left his atelier for Paris in 1601, as well as Pierre Puget who spread Giambologna's influence throughout Northern Europe, and in Italy on Pietro Tacca, who assumed Giambologna's workshop in Florence, and in Rome on Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Alessandro Algardi.

Vocalist Andrea Ferro and bassist / composer Marco Coti Zelati formed Sleep of Right in Milan, Italy, 1994, and recruited Raffaele Zagaria on guitars, and Michaelangelo Algardi on the drums.

This ensured that he effectively became the successor of Michelangelo, far outshining other sculptors of his generation, including his rival, Alessandro Algardi.

Alessandro Algardi ( 31 July 1598 – 10 June 1654 ) was an Italian high-Baroque sculptor active almost exclusively in Rome, where for the latter decades of his life, he was the major rival of Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Algardi was born in Bologna, where at a young age, he was apprenticed in the studio of Agostino Carracci.

Algardi was not renowned for his architectural abilities.

Algardi died in Rome within a year of completing his famous relief, which was admired by contemporaries.

Algardi was also known for his portraiture which shows an obsessive attention to details of psychologically revealing physiognomy in a sober but immediate naturalism, and minute attention to costume and draperies, such as in the busts of Laudivio Zacchia, Camillo Pamphilj, and of Muzio Frangipane and his two sons Lello and Roberto.

A large hieratic bronze of Innocent X by Algardi is now to be found in the Capitoline Museums.

The Augustinian monastery at Salamanca contains the tomb of the Count and Countess de Monterey, another work by Algardi.

For nearly a decade, Algardi struggled for recognition.

In 1635 – 38, Pietro Boncompagni commissioned from Algardi a colossal statue of Philip Neri with kneeling angels for Santa Maria in Vallicella, completed in 1640.

Immediately after this, Algardi produced an interactive sculptural group representing the beheading of Saint Paul with two figures: a kneeling, resigned saint and the executioner poised to strike the sword-blow, for the church of San Paolo, Bologna.

In 1650 Algardi met Diego Velázquez, who obtained commissions for his work from Spain.

In his later years Algardi controlled a large studio and amassed a great fortune.
