# Ferrante Gonzaga Triumphant over Evil and Envy \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LEONI, Leone]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Bronze ## Commentary The detail shows Gonzaga standing over a hydra and prostrate satyr, who falls backwards off the base. Although Leone had seen Cellini's Perseus and Medusa in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence on his return to Milan from Rome in 1560, his group has none of the mannered elegance of Cellini's work. Leone's satyr is, in fact, a colossal version of one of Andrea Riccio's small bronzes, while the armed portrait of Gonzaga continues the classicised realism seen in his earlier busts and statues. ## Related artworks - [Andrea Doria \(obverse\), Leone Leoni \(reverse\)]() - [Bust of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V]() - [Bust of Mary of Hungary as Widow]() - [Bust of Mary of Hungary]() - [Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor]() - [Emperor Charles V]() - [Empress Isabella]() - [Empress Isabella]() - [Façade of the Casa degli Omenoni \(detail\)]() - [Façade of the Casa degli Omenoni \(detail\)]() - [Façade of the Casa degli Omenoni]() - [Ferrante Gonzaga, Count of Guastalla \(back side\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
