Giambologna (1529 - 1606) is regarded as the most important
European sculptor between Michelangelo and Bernini. How did he
achieve this status? This volume investigates this question and
examines above all Giambologna's study of Michelangelo, his
all-powerful role model, and how he successfully prevailed. The
young Flemish artist Giambologna most probably embarked on his
study trip to Rome in 1550. On his way home he visited Florence,
decided to stay and became the star at the Medici court. They sent
his sculptures to the princely courts of Europe, where they became
sought-after gifts. Although we know a great deal about his
success, we know little of his early years in Italy, because he
first appeared on the scene as a sculptor from about 1560. The
alabaster figures after Michelangelo's "Times of Day" in Dresden,
hitherto largely ignored, seem to be early works by the master
sculptor. An examination of these sculptures promises to shed fresh
light on the development of a genius.
