Architecture (or Geometry) 1580 - 1608

"Architecture (or Geometry)" is a bronze sculpture created by Giambologna, a prominent Italian sculptor, between 1580 and 1608. The work depicts a nude female figure holding a compass and a ruler, symbolic of architecture and geometry, a nod to the Renaissance ideal of linking artistic creation with mathematical precision. The sculpture, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is characterized by its intricate detailing, dynamic pose, and the figure's contemplative expression, emphasizing the intellectual pursuit of artistic creation.
