# Victory [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [AMMANATI, Bartolomeo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Marble, height 262 cm ## Commentary This group is perhaps one of the most noble and graceful works made by the sculptor. So light is the step of the symbolic Victory that it barely seems to be felt. The weight of the female figure dominating the vanquished male seems to be measured in moral and idealistic rather than merely physical terms. The statue was part of a funeral monument which was destroyed by Ammanati's jealous competitor, Baccio Bandinelli. ## Related artworks - [Allegory of Winter]() - [Allegory of Winter]() - [Architectural and anatomical sketches]() - [Detail of the façade]() - [Detail of the façade]() - [Falcon]() - [Fontana di Sala Grande \(detail\)]() - [Fontana di Sala Grande \(detail\)]() - [Fontana di Sala Grande]() - [Fontana di Sala Grande]() - [Fountain of Juno \(lower figures\)]() - [Fountain of Juno \(upper figures\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
