Description: | This scene is a fanciful recreation of the studio of the important sculptor Giovanni Bologna, who was working about forty to fifty years before this picture was painted. The complicated twisting poses of the sculpture (and the sculptor) are characteristic of the Baroque style that Giovanni Bologna himself used. However, the small-scale figures of the young apprentices are more typical of North European art. Both Giovanni Bologna and the painter of this picture, Balthasar van den Bossche, worked in France for part of their careers. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1706 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Balthasar van den Bossche | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
