modellino per divinità fluviale 

This terracotta sculpture, *modellino per divinità fluviale*, is a study by the Italian Renaissance sculptor Giambologna. The figure, a nude male, is depicted in a dynamic pose, evoking a sense of movement. Giambologna was known for his mastery of the human form, particularly his skill in capturing the play of light and shadow. This piece, although a study, demonstrates Giambologna's attention to detail and the naturalism that characterized his work. This model may have been intended for a larger, monumental sculpture, and it provides a glimpse into Giambologna's creative process.
