Rape Of The Sabine Women Sculpture by Santini

Item Details

This sculpture is recast from a copy by A. Santini. It is based the art masterpiece by Giambolgna. The right arch in the Loggia della Signoria is dominated by the so-called Rape of the Sabine Women, a technical masterpiece by Giambologna. The artist did not originally intend to sculpt the legendary episode from early Roman history with the rape of the Sabine women by Romulo’s companions; his intention was to create just three interacting figures in movement: a mature man, a youth and a beautiful woman, taken by the younger man from the weaker, older one.

Condition

This sculpture has a few airline cracks and needs to be cleaned.
