Created in the late 17th century, this bust captures the likeness of Cardinal Gian Carlo de' Medici, a prominent figure in the Medici family and an influential patron of the arts during his lifetime. Foggini, who was a leading sculptor and architect of his time, is celebrated for his dynamic compositions and intricate detailing, both of which are evident in this work.
The bust is characterized by its lifelike representation and the meticulous attention to detail that Foggini employed to convey the Cardinal's dignified presence. The sculptor's skillful use of marble allows for a realistic portrayal of the Cardinal's facial features, including the delicate rendering of his skin, the subtle lines of his expression, and the intricate curls of his hair. The bust also features the elaborate ecclesiastical garments worn by the Cardinal, which are depicted with a high degree of precision and texture, showcasing Foggini's ability to work with the medium to create a sense of depth and realism.
