Om skulpturen

This statue representing a male nude is made by Niccolo Tribolo, in Florence in the second quarter of the 16th century.

On account of its unfinished state, the figure was for long ascribed to Michelangelo. The attribution to Tribolo is based on resemblances to a figure of Victory from the destroyed coat-of-arms on the Fortezza del Basso, Florence, now in the Palazzo Alessandri.

Tribolo was an Italian sculptor, engineer and garden designer, who was apprecnticed in Florence first as a wood-carver with Giovanni d’Alesso d’Antonio and then as a sculptor with Jacopo Sansovino, whom he continued to assist well into the second decade of the 16th century.

Tribolo worked (with a team of other sculptors) on the basilica of the Santa Casa at Loreto and in 1533 he completed Andrea Sansovino’s marble high relief of the Marriage of the Virgin which began 1527 and he also helped Michelangelo to complete the Medici tombs in S Lorenzo.

Tribolo also worked around 12 years for Cosimo I in Florence and undertook an extraordinary wide array of works: decorations for state occasions, firework displays, theatrical costumes and décor as well as water conservation and other hydraulic projects. His most influential undertaking was the laying out of the Boboli Gardens behind the Pitti Palace in Florence.
