The Rape of the Sabine Women

Extremely consistent in his inventions, Giambologna takes up in the bronze relief of the base the compositional module of the marble group, but several times, in different complementary solutions, almost as if testing all its possible cases, from the figures fully in the round in the foreground to the incised images that fade into the receding perspective.
