GIAMBOLOGNA
(b. 1529, Douai, d. 1608, Firenze)

St Antoninus's Ceremonial Entry into the Piazza della Signoria

1589
Bronze
Salviati Chapel, San Marco, Florence

From his earliest days in Florence, Giambologna's relief sculptures had shown his attraction to urban settings. Some of his reliefs evoke specific Florentine squares: in the Salviati Chapel, for example, we see Antoninus in the Piazza della Signoria.

The picture shows one of the six reliefs depicting scenes from the life of St Antoninus.
