SCULPTURAL GROUP “THE RAPE OF THE SABINE WOMEN” AFTER GIOVANNI DA BOLOGNA (1529-1608) ITALY, 20TH CENTURY

SCULPTURAL GROUP “THE RAPE OF THE SABINE WOMEN” AFTER GIOVANNI DA BOLOGNA (1529-1608) ITALY, 20TH CENTURY

The sculptural group The Rape of the Sabine Women was created after the celebrated model by the Florentine master Giovanni da Bologna, one of the leading figures of Late Mannerism and early Baroque. The composition refers to one of the most dramatic episodes of Roman legendary history, associated with the founding of Rome and the beginning of the so-called Sabine War.The multi-figure group is conceived according to the principle of figura serpentinata, characteristic of Giambologna’s sculptural language. The viewer’s eye moves upward in a spiraling motion: from the defeated, pleading figure at the base to the central male protagonist asserting possession, and further to the ascending female figure, whose gesture intensifies the dramatic tension. The contrast of poses, the opposition of gestures, and the complex spatial arrangement create a powerful sense of continuous movement and inner conflict.The modeling of the nude bodies recalls classical antiquity, while the expressive poses and dynamic composition reflect the aesthetics of Mannerism. The surface treatment visually imitates bronze with a noble patina, a feature typical of high-quality interior and collector’s replicas produced during the 20th century.Material: Composite material, coating, bronze patina.Dimensions: Height 110 cm; Width 40 cm; Depth 40 cm.Condition: Good.Provenance: Private European collection.
