Amazing Sculptures" Naiad Teti and Naiad Doris " (7 in the World) Terracotta

About the Item

Amazing Sculptures" Naiad Teti and Naiad Doris " (7 in the World) Terracotta Impruneta 20th Century Representation of the Naiads by Giambologna, present in Florence in Piazza della Signoria on the Fountain of Neptune These are very special pieces because only 7 couples are reproduced in the world. Naiad Teti and Naiad Doris Four bronze figures were placed at the four corners of the marble basin, two Satyrs and two Naiads (in reality they are Nereids, nymphs of the sea); and in fact Domenico Mellini (1566) speaks of Nereids, Raffaello Borghini (1584) writes that “the two females” were depicted for Thetis and for Doris. In fact, Thetis has a shield as her attribute, with reference to her gift that she gave to her son Achilles. The attributes of the other Nereid (Doris), in addition to the dolphin, a buccina and a queen's diadem, identify her as Amphitrite, wife of Neptune and therefore queen of the sea. If in the past the execution of the two Nereids, later renamed “Naiads”, had been attributed to various mannerist sculptors, and in particular to Giambologna, critics have long since attributed them to Ammannati, as well as the two Satyrs.
