Onofrio Panvinio 1570 - 1575

This bronze bust, created by Italian sculptor Girolamo Campagna between 1570 and 1575, depicts Onofrio Panvinio, a renowned historian and scholar. The realistic portrayal of Panvinio's features, including his furrowed brow and contemplative gaze, captures the essence of a learned individual. This small-scale work, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcases Campagna's talent for capturing the likeness and personality of his subjects, a hallmark of Renaissance portraiture.
