Abduction of the Sabine Woman, Bronze, 19th Century, After Giambologna
About the Item
Kidnapping of the Sabine women. Bronze. XIX century, following the model of Giambologna (John of Bologna; Douai, 1529-Florence 1608).
Patinated bronze sculpture made with the lost wax casting technique that has a small polygonal base, also dark. The three human figures that make it up are placed on a small rocky surface, thus enhancing the complicated game of diagonals and spirals created by the postures of the two men and the woman, located at the top of the composition. Considered the masterpiece of John of Bologna, the Rape of the Sabine Women is a sculpture made between 1581 and around 1582 that measures 410 cm high, is carved from a single piece of marble and is located in the Loggia della Signoria (Florence , Italy). It shows a young man lifting a woman over his head, who struggles to get away from him, while an old man appears between the boy's legs. It is due to this popularity, apart from its quality, that casts of the work and works inspired by it were made in bronze already at the time the author was still alive, and, of course, of the Grand Tour and destined for everything, to England and Germany, in different sizes (almost always much smaller than the original). A bronze reduction of the work is attributed to the hand of Pietro Tacca, held at the Honolulu Academy of Arts; another, dated to the 18th century, is kept in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. ·
