Hercules in Brescello. News for Jacopo Sansovino
Abstrak
Jacopo Sansovino, born Jacopo Tatti known as Sansovino (Florence, July 2, 1486 – Venice, November 27, 1570), was a Tuscan architect and sculptor active for a long time in several locations, where he has always been worthy of positions of great responsibility. On this occasion I will focus on the commission for the statue of Hercules requested from him in 1550 by Duke Ercole II d’Este through his ambassador to Venice, Girolamo Faruffini. The giant in Istrian stone will reach Brescello, the «nova Cittade Erculea», its definitive seat, in 1553. So far, the model for the head of Hercules is unpublished, and in a private collection, on this occasion he presents and confronts himself with the sculpture created.
