Giambologna (Flemish sculptor, architect, 1529-1608, active in Italy)

Note: Born and trained in Flanders (Douai, his birthplace, is now in France but was once in Flanders), Giambologna traveled to Italy in 1550 to study Classical and Renaissance sculpture. There, he became court sculptor of the Medici Dukes. He was famed for compositional sophistication, sensuous, tactile treatment of human body, and sheer technical virtuosity. He was extremely influential because the Medici gave his works as diplomatic gifts and his style was thus known throughout Europe. His style also spread through his many students, who studied in Florence with him, and returned to Northern Europe. He died in Florence, Italy in 1608.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Jean Boulogne (1529–1608) werd geboren te Douai, in het toenmalige Vlaanderen. Als 14-jarige ging hij in de leer bij de beeldhouwer Jacques Dubroecq. Na zijn leertijd vertrok hij naar Rome om de beroemde beelden uit de renaissance en de klassieke oudheid te bestuderen. Daar mat Jean zichzelf de naam 'Giambologna' aan en maakte hij kennis met Michelangelo. Voor de paleizen en villa’s van de rijke Florentijnse bankiersfamilie de’ Medici maakte Giambologna levensgrote marmeren en bronzen werken. Zijn Sabijnse maagdenroof kreeg een ereplaats in het centrum van Florence. Een kleine bronzen kopie naar deze marmeren beeldengroep bevindt zich in het Rijksmuseum, evenals bronzen afgietsels van zijn serie Werken van Hercules. Aan deze beelden is te zien dat Giambologna gefascineerd was door lichamen: ze draaien en kronkelen, met gespannen spieren en verwrongen gezichten. Deze ‘maniëristische’ stijl vond in heel Europa navolging. 
Italian ..... Scultore (Douai 1529 - Firenze 1608). Ad Anversa (1540) apprese la scultura da J. du Broeucq. Recatosi a Roma insieme a F. e C. Floris, avvicinò Michelangelo. Si recò nel 1562 a Firenze, ove fu protetto da Francesco de' Medici.
