Quotation from the exhibition catalogue: "...The model for Giovanni Francesco Susini’s Kneeling Woman Bathing was one of Giambologna’s most frequently cited compositions, which he had developed from the Antique Crouching Venus by Doidalses. The figure’s complicated pose is attractive to look at from all sides, and as a figura serpentinata, an upwardly spiralling form akin to a snake, it is typical of the Flemish sculptor. Giambologna gradually began to focus on depicting beauty by means of a multiple viewpoint rather than on the content of the work. Even among admirers of his work, iconography was of secondary importance...."
