# Bust of Cardinal Gian Carlo de' Medici [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FOGGINI, Giambattista]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Marble, height 105 cm ## Commentary Florence in the last years of the seventeenth century \(and in the first quarter of the eighteenth\) was the scene of considerable sculptural activity, led by Giambattista Foggini and Massimiliano Soldani, who were both pupils of Ferrata. Foggini was a first-rate marble sculptor, as is attested by the bust of Cardinal Gian Carlo de' Medici. However, he is chiefly important for his small-scale bronzes. ## Related artworks - [Battle of Anghiari]() - [Bust of Grand Prince Ferdinando de' Medici]() - [Cosimo III de' Medici]() - [Decoration of the Feroni Chapel]() - [Elector Palatine's cabinet]() - [Ferdinando de' Medici]() - [First Mass of St Andrea]() - [Portrait of Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici as a Child]() - [Prie-dieu of the Electress Palatine]() - [Reliquary of St Sigismund \(detail\)]() - [Reliquary of St Sigismund]() - [Stoup decorated with the Annunciation]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
