Turn of the Century Metal Sculpture after Michelangelo

About the Item

This beautifully crafted bronze sculpture evokes the grandeur of Renaissance art. Made in France at the turn of the century, the piece is modeled after Michelangelo’s famous marble statue of Lorenzo de’ Medici. Like the original, located in the Medici Chapel in Rome, this bronze replica depicts the duke dressed in the outfit of an ancient Roman legionary, seated pensively with hand on chin as if lost in thought. The intricate metalwork faithfully recreates the mood of Michelangelo’s masterwork, which contrasts military splendor with melancholy contemplation.
