Summary[edit]

Description
Britain Loves Wikipedia at the Victoria and Albert Museum
Samson Slaying A Philistine
English: Figure group, Samson Slaying a Philistine

Marble
Italy, Florence, about 1562
Giovanni Bologna, called Giambologna (1529-1608)

Giambologna, working at the court of the Medici grand-dukes of Tuscany, became the most famous and influential sculptor of his day. This spectacular marble group, made for Francesco de' Medici, was his first major commission. In it, he achieved his ambition to create a two-figure group in movement, with several different viewpoints. Originally placed atop a fountain in the herb garden of Francesco's palace in Florence, the group was sent to Spain in 1601 as a diplomatic gift.

Purchased with the assistance of The Art Fund.
