AMMANATI, Bartolomeo
(b. 1511, Settignano, d. 1592, Firenze)

Venus

Stucco
Casa Vasari, Arezzo

This is a stucco model for the restoration of an ancient Venus for Cosimo I. The model seems to have represented Ammanati's initial proposal for the restoration. Ercole Ferrata restored the statue a century later, so we no longer know exactly what Ammanati produced.
