Best Answer

He was extremely successful.

He was called to Rome by the pope to paint murals in a suite of rooms in the Vatican. Most famous of those is the School of Athens.

He also made the Cartoons for tapestries to adorn the lower part of the walls of the Sistine Chapel.

The pope made him architect of St Peter's after the death of Bramante.

In 1515 he was given powers as "Prefect" over all antiquities unearthed within the city, or a mile outside.
