Description:
Vincenzo Danti was a goldsmith from Perugia and known more for work in bronze. He may also have been associated with Baccio Bandinelli during his first years in Florence, which would have given him the opportunity to learn to carve marble. Danti carved his group Honour Triumphant over Falsehood for Cosimo I de’ Medici’s chamberlain, the fellow Perugian Sforza Almeni. This is a small scale terracotta study for the finished marble, which is also in the Bargello. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
