Florentine 17th Century
1600–1650
Florentine 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This Florentine artist of the early 1600s sculpted dramatic bronze figures like Hercules and Lichas, where myth meets raw motion in mid-air. Their chalk drawing Two Male Figures shows the same raw contrast, one young, one old, etched with sharp, almost theatrical lighting. The work feels like a stage set lit by candle smoke.
Tap into Hercules and Lichas to see how bronze can twist like cloth, or pick the chalk study to watch age and youth collide under the artist’s hand.
