Description |
English: Wrestling matches between scantily clad women as well as men were a form of court entertainment in 17th-century Italy. Casts of "Two Women Wrestling" were sometimes paired with "Two Men Wrestling." The subject of women wrestling is not ancient, and a life-size statue would shock, but the naturalism, drama, and veiled eroticism are suited to the small scale appropriate to a collector's study. It exemplifies the impact of the tastes of the collector on the expanded subject matter of the Baroque. The natural tension of the conflict leads the eye around the wrestlers.
Chief sculptor to the grand duke of Tuscany, Tacca maintained the workshop that had been Giovanni Bologna's. No small bronzes are documented as having been created by him, but several are attributed to him by comparison with larger, signed pieces. |
