| Title |
Bust of a Classical Hero or Emperor |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
This bust most likely represents an emperor or condottiere from classical antiquity, and probably formed part of a series of classical heads. Such groups of worthies were featured as decorative schemes in the studioli and architectural projects of Renaissance statesmen. Attesting to the sophistication of their learned patrons, these busts also provided the opportunity for artists to explore the contemporary stylistic relevance of classical portraiture - a source of fascination and inspiration for Florentine sculptors of this period. |
