# Honour Triumphant over Falsehood \(front view\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DANTI, Vincenzo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Marble, height 187 cm ## Commentary In 1561 Danti carved his group Honour Triumphant over Falsehood for Cosimo I de' Medici's chamberlain, the fellow Perugian Sforza Almeni. This is one of the finest works of 16th-century Italian sculpture and Danti's best work in marble. It is often used to reconstruct missing figures for Michelangelo's tomb of Julius II, but, beyond its psychomachic theme, the sculpture bears little relation to Michelangelo's. ## Related artworks - [Beheading of St John the Baptist]() - [Beheading of St John the Baptist]() - [Cosimo I as Augustus]() - [Cosimo I as Augustus]() - [Descent from the Cross \(detail\)]() - [Descent from the Cross]() - [Equity and Rigour]() - [Equity and Rigour]() - [Honour Triumphant over Falsehood \(front view\)]() - [Honour Triumphant over Falsehood \(front view\)]() - [Honour Triumphant over Falsehood \(rear view\)]() - [Joshua]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
