Love, Vice, and Wisdom at the Accademia Gallery, Florence, Italy

Details best viewed in Original Size.

According to a site plaque, Lorenzo Bartolini's Love, Vice, and Wisdom is a plaster model made by the artist to demonstrate to the patron what the finished marble will look like. The marble original (included in my photostream) sits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Its image is included within the first comment below. This plaster model sits at a room in the Academia Gallery surrounded by many dozens of other plaster models by this and other famous sculptors. Commissioned before 1845 by Prince Anatoly Demidoff, the work is known by various different titles, including The Demidoff Table. The subject is taken from the satires (IV, VI, and VII) of the Traité du Sublime by Nicolas Boileau Déspreaux; the meaning of the composition is somewhat complex and, in part, obscure.
Additional information may be obtained about the Academia and about Lorenzo Bartolini at Wikipedia.
