Torrigiano's final years was spent in Spain, especially at Seville, where, besides the painted figure of St Hieronymus in the museum, some terracotta sculpture by him still exists. His violent temper got him into difficulties with the authorities, and he ended his life in 1528 in the prisons of the Inquisition; supposedly he was dissatisfied with a sculpture of the Virgin he was working on, and mutilated it with his chisel. He was tried and convicted of blasphemy against the church. He starved himself to death, so it is said.
