# Young River God [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PIERINO DA VINCI]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Marble, height 135 cm ## Commentary Pierino da Vinci, a nephew of Leonardo and a disciple of Tribolo, did more than merely apply the formulas of his masters. His brief career, cut short by his untimely death at the age of twenty-thre, was marked by some major creations. The marble Young River God, arched in melancholy and distractedly holding an urn supported by laughing putti, has the meditative face that Michelangelo gave his Genius of Victory in the Palazzo Vecchio. ## Related artworks - [Abundance]() - [Bacchus]() - [Cosimo I as Patron of Pisa]() - [Death of Count Ugolino and his Sons]() - [Pan and Olympus]() - [Pomona]() - [Putti on the Fountain of Hercules \(detail\)]() - [Putti on the Fountain of Hercules]() - [Putto with a Mask]() - [Samson Slaying a Philistine]() - [Samson Slaying a Philistine]() - [Young River God]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
