modellino per divinità fluviale 

This terracotta sculpture by Giambologna, a prominent Mannerist artist, is a model for a river god. Giambologna was known for his dynamic and expressive figures, and this work exemplifies his mastery of the human form. The sculpture's pose and anatomy are highly naturalistic, but with an exaggerated dynamism that reflects the stylistic tendencies of Mannerism. The figure's powerful physique and contorted posture convey a sense of energy and movement, while the intricate details of the drapery and musculature add to the overall impression of realism.
