Scultura includes a carefully selected group of sculptural works in marble, bronze, and terracotta, from the early Renaissance to the Neo-Classical period. Many of the works epitomize the artistic tastes and cultural ideals of their time and provide a rich visual journey through 500 years of sculpture.
From the newly discovered powerful profile portrait of King Ferrante of Naples circa 1472 to the sublime beauty of Giambologna's Urania and Bartolini's divine-like representation of the Emperor Napoleon, we can travel through the history of European sculpture and feast on gods, godesses, emperors and kings through the presentation of these enigmatic sculptures and the mythology, connoisseurship, and royal patronage that created them.
