EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite bronze sculpture of a Cherub fisherman, created by the renowned artist Giambologna during the High Renaissance period. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Bargello National Museum, located in Florence, Italy. Giambologna, also known as Jean de Boulogne, was a master sculptor whose talent and skill are evident in this remarkable piece. Crafted between 1561-1562, the sculpture showcases his ability to bring life and movement to metal. The cherubic figure stands proudly with a fishing net draped over one shoulder while holding a fish in his other hand. The photograph itself dates back to around 1890 and was captured by Brogi from Alinari. It beautifully highlights both the intricate details of Giambologna's work and the historical significance of this masterpiece. Visitors to The Bargello National Museum can immerse themselves in various artistic styles and periods such as High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, and European art from both the first and second millenniums A. D. This particular sculpture serves as an excellent representation of these diverse influences. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time to witness not only Giambologna's genius but also appreciate how art has evolved throughout history. The juxtaposition of solid figures against delicate elements like food emphasizes themes of sustenance and nourishment within literature and fiction. This print invites us into a world where mythological beings come alive through bronze sculptures—a testament to human creativity that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
