Crafted from porphyry and oriental alabaster, this masterpiece is housed in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy. The sculpture depicts a poignant moment in history as it immortalizes Alexander the Great, one of the most influential figures of ancient Greece. With intricate details and a profound expression on his face, Dying Alexander captures the essence of both strength and vulnerability that defined this legendary king. Ferrucci's skillful artistry brings to life the baroque style prevalent during that era. The combination of porphyry and oriental alabaster adds depth and richness to this remarkable piece. Its presence evokes a sense of awe as viewers are transported back to a time when kings ruled with power and grace.
