RAPE OF A SABINE

Name: Rape of a Sabine
Material: Bronze
Dimensions: 82 x 33 x 31 cm

The sculpture is a small-scale reproduction of the masterpiece of Giambologna, located in the Loggia dei Lanzi on Piazza della Signoria in Florence. The Abduction of the Sabine Women is an episode of the legendary History of Rome according to which Romulus, who had just founded the city, tried to come to terms with the neighboring populations to provide them with women who would procreate and populate the Urbe. But faced with the clear rejection of the respondents, the King of Rome, organized a big party to distract them and kidnap their women. The sculpture is also known under the title “The Three Ages of Man” and depicts just three figures: a young man who raises in his arms a woman, while an older man, wedged between his legs, seeks to hinder it. The three figures are perfectly and distinctly outlined, they seem to be screwed one on top of the other, rotated and stretched rising up in the air.
