Album Info:
Behind me is the manneristic celebrated group Rape of the Sabine Women by the Flemish artist Jean de Boulogne, better known as Giambologna. This impressive work was made from one imperfect block of white marble, the largest block ever transported to Florence. Giambologna wanted to create a composition with the figura serpentina, an upward snakelike spiral movement to be examined from all sides. The marble pedestal, also by Giambologna, represents bronze bas-reliefs with the same theme. This marble and bronze group is in the Loggia since 1583.
