# Time Ravishing Beauty [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FOGGINI, Giambattista]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Bronze, height 54,6 cm ## Commentary Foggini concentrated on bronzes and small-scale works. Many of these were created as diplomatic gifts to be sent abroad or presented to the visitors at the court of Cosimo III. Almost exclusively Classical in subject matter, the best preserved still retain a reddish-brown patination and translucent lacquer; they display basic formulae derived from Giambologna and newly energized by the example of Bernini. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 5 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/17\_cent/stradella\_sinfonia.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Alessandro Stradella: Sinfonia avanti il Barcheggio</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [Battle of Anghiari]() - [Bust of Cardinal Gian Carlo de' Medici]() - [Bust of Grand Prince Ferdinando de' Medici]() - [Cosimo III de' Medici]() - [Decoration of the Feroni Chapel]() - [Elector Palatine's cabinet]() - [Ferdinando de' Medici]() - [First Mass of St Andrea]() - [Portrait of Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici as a Child]() - [Prie-dieu of the Electress Palatine]() - [Reliquary of St Sigismund \(detail\)]() - [Reliquary of St Sigismund]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
