"Ottaviano Grimaldi" is a notable bust sculpted by the Italian Renaissance artist Alessandro Vittoria (1525–1608). Vittoria, who was a prominent figure in the Venetian school of sculpture and a follower of Sansovino, is renowned for his mastery in creating portrait busts that combine realistic detail with idealized elegance. The work depicts Ottaviano Grimaldi, a member of the influential Grimaldi family, which played a significant role in the political and economic life of Genoa and had considerable influence throughout the Mediterranean.

The bust is a prime example of Vittoria's skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the character of his subjects. It showcases the artist's ability to render the textures of skin and hair, as well as the sumptuous fabrics of the sitter's attire, which were typical of the period's fashion. The sculpture also reflects the cultural and artistic exchanges between Genoa and Venice during the Renaissance, as members of the Genoese elite often commissioned works from Venetian artists to display their wealth and status.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, the bust is believed to have been sculpted in the mid to late 16th century, a period when Vittoria was at the height of his artistic powers. The work is significant for its art historical value, providing insight into the portraiture conventions of the time and the representation of societal elites in Renaissance Italy.

The "Ottaviano Grimaldi" bust is an important piece in Alessandro Vittoria's oeuvre and is often studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 16th-century Italian art. It remains an enduring testament to the craftsmanship and artistic legacy of one of the period's foremost sculptors.
