Between 1581 and 1583 Giambologna created the colossal marble group 'The Rape of a Sabine' in the Loggia dei Lanzi, Florence. The group was universally celebrated and as a result copies and reductions have been created ever since. To Giambologna it was a group which allowed him to demonstrate his skills of composition, a group that could be viewed from virtually every angle and was astonishing in its use of complex spiraling forms.
