• Resumen

  • The article presents two unpublished works by the Florentine sculptor Giovan Battista Foggini -a terracota of "The Familyof Darius before Alexander", a youthful piece made when the artist was attending the Accademia Medicea, founded in Rome by Grand Duke Cosimo III to school young Tuscan artists in the language of the full-blown modern Roman Baroque; and a preparatory model for the marble bust of Cosimo III in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (carved by Foggini in 1682), which was curiously transformed at the turn of the eigteenth century, the sovereign's features being replaced by those of an unknown man.
