Florentine 17th Century

1600–1650

Florentine 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This Florentine artist of the early 1600s sculpted dramatic bronze figures like *Hercules and Lichas*, where myth meets raw motion in mid-air. Their chalk drawing *Two Male Figures* shows the same raw contrast—one young, one old—etched with sharp, almost theatrical lighting. The work feels like a stage set lit by candle smoke. Tap into *Hercules and Lichas* to see how bronze can twist like cloth, or pick the chalk study to watch age and youth collide under the artist’s hand.
