Rape of the Sabines. The drama in art is captured for all time. Giovanni da Bologna (1524-1608) demonstrates his interest in classical antiquity by sculpting an event from early Roman history in which the Romans rape the women from the neighboring Sabine community. Adding 16th-century flair, Da Bologna portrays the figures with a new dynamism by spiraling them around a central axis and counterbalancing the woman outstretched with the men who pull her back. Now in the Loggia dei Lanzi, Florence, this reproduction is made from resin with a marble finish, 15.6"H x 6"W x 5.5"D.
