Description:
|
|
One of six slave or captive figures, originally personifying the Liberal Arts, planned for the tomb of Pope Julius II. The group of four slaves at the Accademia are from a significantly different version of the tomb project started in 1516. These are part of his unfinished works called the 'non-finito'; the four slaves were once incorporated by Bernardo Buontalenti into the rough masonry of a grotto in the Boboli Gardens in Florence (replicas in situ). This male nude seems to be carrying a huge weight on his head. Hence he is named after Atlas, the primordial Titan who held up the entire world on his shoulders.
