Giulio Romano has the distinction of being the only Renaissance artist to be mentioned by William Shakespeare. In Act V, Scene II of The Winter's Tale Queen Hermione's statue is by "that rare Italian master, Julio Romano", although Giulio was not a sculptor.
In 1681 he was asked by Cosimo III de' Medici to paint his self-portrait for the ducal collection. This oil on canvas has become a most original self-portrait. It shows the painter in a diagonal pose,showing with his right index finger his illusionist easel painting, a trompe-l'oeil dome, while his left hand rests on three books .
The "Fake dome" is a canvas of 17 meters of diameter; on the pavement there is a marble which indicates the point of observation.

About Michelangelo's broken nose...
Torrigiano was born in Florence. Benvenuto Cellini, reporting a conversation with Torrigiano, relates that he and Michelangelo, while both young, were copying the frescoes in the Carmine chapel, when some slighting remark made by Michelangelo so enraged Torrigiano that he struck him on the nose, and thus caused that disfigurement which is so conspicuous in all the portraits of Michelangelo. Soon after this Torrigiano visited Rome, and helped Pinturicchio in modelling the elaborate stucco decorations in the Apartamenti Borgia for Pope Alexander VI. Michelangelo was very good at making enemies.
