Bronze Sculpture: The Abduction of a Sabine Woman After Giambologna (1529-1608)

18th century
Description

An 18th/19th century bronze cast with good detail and a fine patina.

The marble original (now in the Loggia den Lanzi, Piazza della Signoria, Florence) was carved between 1581 and 1583. The original work was so widely celebrated and copied due to the three figures, instead of the typical two, meaning the cast is able to be viewed in the round from all angles.

FAQs

Originated by Mannerist sculptor Giambologna in 1583, this composition showcases a dynamic spiral form known as figura serpentinata, designed to present an engaging view from every angle while depicting three figures from early Roman history.

These statuettes were typically cast using the lost-wax casting method or sand casting from a copper alloy, after which artists hand-chased the metal and applied chemical patinas to achieve deep tonal finishes.

Authentic period castings feature precise hand-tooling on hair and drapery, crisp definition along seam lines, natural wear on high points of the patina, and a weight corresponding to solid or heavy hollow bronze casting.

Displaying the piece on a stone-topped sideboard, a mantelpiece, or within a minimalist shelving unit allows the classic form to contrast cleanly against contemporary backdrops.

Regular dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth is recommended, avoiding liquid polish or chemical solvents that strip the original patina, followed by an occasional thin application of microcrystalline wax.
