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). The Awakening Slave is the earliest dated and also the least finished; the block has many rough marks. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
