## Commentary

Ferrucci&#39;s pleasing Julius Caesar exemplifies the delicately ornate, a l&#39;antica style of Florentine sculpture fashionable in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. While the face is strikingly naturalistic and portrait-like, the profuse amount of surface detail seems to disperse rather than unify form and to reduce the scale of the sculpture rather than create a sense of monumentality.
