Members' Tour: Giambologna, Court Sculptor to the Medici
Was Giambologna the most influential sculptor in Italy between 1550 and 1600, the period after Michelangelo and before Bernini?
Join V&A Guide Tony Mollett on this tour looking at Giambologna’s progress from being a French born young artist seeking inspiration by travelling to Italy to becoming the Court sculptor to the ruling family of Florence, the Medici. Tony will look at Giambologna’s only large-scale sculpture outside Italy, originally designed for a fountain at the Medicis’ botanic gardens, and in addition the many smaller scale works in bronze in the V&A’s collection.
Tour end times are approximate and may vary to what is shown. Optional light refreshments will be served after the tour in the Members' Restaurant. Please note this tour includes extensive walking and stairs, please contact the Membership Events team directly with any questions about accessibility.
