BRONZE FIGURE OF ANDROMEDA
Probably Florence, 17th century. After a model by Pietro Da Barga (known 1574-1588)
Bronze with a brown patina. A standing, nude figure of Andromeda leaning against a rock. Long, parted hair with a swept-up hairdo at the back. The left foot with an ankle cuff. Mounted on a later wooden base.
H 27.5 cm, H with plinth 33.5 cm.
Provenance:
- Swiss private collection, acquired in the 1980s/90s from the above.
Patina rubbed in places. Verdigris (especially on the thighs and shoulders). Small casting defect and hole on the back. Modern mounting screw on the plinth.
A comparable statuette, kept in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello (inv. no. 424), is attributed to Pietro Da Barga (documented 1574–1588). Although they are of the same size, the statuettes show slight differences in their execution, with the example on offer lacking the arm cuffs and the facial features being rendered differently.
