Summary

Italiano: Cinghiale (copia di una statua antica della Galeria degli Uffizi a Firenze commissionata dal marchese di Louvois per Luigi XIV – La descrizione riporta scorrettamente Foggina come cognome dell'autore.

English: Wild Boar (replica of an ancient statue set the Uffizi Gallery in Florence ordered by the Marquis of Louvois for Louis XIV) – The description in the museum erroneously spells the author as Foggina.

Français : Sanglier (copie d'une statue antique de la Galerie des Offices à Florence commandée à l'artist par le marquise de Louvois pour Louis XIV) – La description dans le musée cite à tort que l'auteur est Foggina.

Foggini was born in Florence and trained in Rome under the sculptor Ercole Ferrata. He returned to Florence in 1676 and became a member of the Accademia del Disegno. He worked for the Medici family, creating sculptures for their palaces and churches. Foggini was known for his ability to create highly detailed and expressive figures in bronze, often depicting mythological or allegorical subjects. His works were highly sought after by collectors and patrons throughout Europe. Foggini's most famous works include the bronze statue of St John the Baptist in the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence and the bronze figures of the Four Seasons in the Boboli Gardens. He also created numerous busts, including that of Cosimo III de' Medici, now in the Uffizi Gallery. Foggini was appointed court sculptor to Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici in 1693, a position he held until his death. He was also a respected teacher, and his students included the sculptors Massimiliano Soldani and Giuseppe Piamontini. Foggini's style was characterised by a combination of baroque and classical elements, and his work had a significant influence on the development of sculpture in Florence during the 18th century. Today, his sculptures can be found in museums and private collections around the world.
