GIOVANNI DA BOLOGNA, 89 man, wliich is very powerful, was modelled from a noble riorentine youth of the Ginori family. A terra-cotta sketch or model of this, attributed to Giovanni da Bologna, is in the South Kensington Museum. Near the Rape of the SaKnes in the Loggia dei Lanzi stands Giovanni's Hp-rmlet and the Centaur, a group showing power and classic tendency in no ordinary degree. The two colossal statues of Oosimo I. on the Piazza della Signoria and Ferdinando I. on the Piazza della SS. ...Annunziata testify to his skill in casting bronze, while his flying Mercury is a very triumph both of airy lightness in modelling and of perfect technicality in casting. The swift god seems poised momentarily on one foot; the poetry of motion is in every line of his lithe figure. If Giovanni had done nothing else, the Mercury of the Florentine Museum must have stamped him as a true artist. It is supposed that the Mercury was cast to send to Yienna, as a present from the Grand Duke of Tuscany to the Emperor, on the occasion of the marriage of Giovanna d'Austria with Francesco dei Medici, 1564.
