figura allegorica, forse la geometria e l'astronomia 1600

"Figura Allegorica, forse la geometria e l'astronomia" is a bronze sculpture created by the Italian artist Giambologna in 1600. The sculpture depicts a reclining female figure, possibly representing the concepts of geometry and astronomy, with her arms outstretched and holding a book and a globe. Giambologna was known for his mastery of the human form and his ability to convey emotion through his sculptures. This piece exemplifies his skill in depicting the nude form and in creating a sense of movement and dynamism. The figure's outstretched arms and the globe suggest a reaching for knowledge and understanding, while the book and the globe themselves symbolize the importance of learning and exploration. The sculpture is a testament to Giambologna's artistry and to the intellectual spirit of the Renaissance.
