Giambologna

Rating:
Summary: As an American whose heart belongs to Florence (Firenze)...
Review: Having attended the Florida State University Study Program "a Firenze" from June to December 1976 and having returned nearly ten times since, Giambologna became one of my most favorite Renaissance-Mannerist-Baroque sculptors and this book very well summarizes his life and works. Giambologna so captured my aesthetics that I purchased several lost-wax process bronzes from his originals -- in particular the Hermes statue, one of which is under the National Gallery of Art dome in Washington, D.C. However my version is about three feet tall. Please enjoy learning more about Giambologna!
