Additional Information
Notes historical bibliographic
Subject widely addressed in the Florentine workshops between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, from the example of Andrea del Verrocchio's sculpture for Orsanmichele and in the wake of Savonarola's preaching who proclaimed "Jesus King of Florence". The terracotta is well known (from a private collection, formerly the Galleria Antichi Maestri Pittori) which served as a prototype for our sculpture, and of which various cast versions are known, mainly in stucco. Among the various examples, we remember the one preserved in the church of San Michele a Raggiolo (Arezzo), in this case in polychrome terracotta. The almost imaginative revival of Verrocchiesque characters, together with a rather lively and completely original expressive rendering, have led critics to unanimously identify the author as Andrea Ferrucci, in this case assisted by the workshop. Belonging to a Fiesole family of artists, Andrea was its leading exponent, much sought after both in the Florentine artistic environment and in that of Naples, a city in which he was active on several occasions between 1487 and 1508.Other customers have searched:
