This bronze sculpture, "Two men wrestling," depicts two figures locked in a struggle. Created by Ferdinando Tacca, a prominent Italian sculptor of the Baroque period, the work showcases the artist's skill in capturing dynamic movement and anatomical detail. The figures' muscular forms are realistically rendered, emphasizing the exertion and tension of the wrestling match.
