3Perseus with the Head of Medusa by Benvenuto Cellini (1545-1554)
Located in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Benvenuto Cellini’s “Perseus with the Head of Medusa” is a triumph of Mannerist sculpture. The bronze statue of Perseus, poised with the severed head of the Gorgon Medusa, showcases Cellini’s mastery of capturing dynamic movement and emotion in metal.
