When I first saw it, I thought it was a copy, and later I knew it was not, but it was a really good sculpture, and there were many famous treasures. David was like the core, just on the side of the Lord's Square, with a lot of pigeons.
The mercenary gallery is located on the side of the Lords Square, a wide arch building facing the street, with many Renaissance sculptures, arguably an open-air sculpture hall, the most famous of which are bronze sculptures - Parseus and Medusa, The story of Greek hero Parsius cutting off the head of Medusa is said to have taken a long time to complete. The sculptures in the corridor are great, but they don’t appreciate it very much, just look at it.
It is a nice square for a free visit. You can see David from there.
Less than 8 o'clock in the morning, we came to the mercenary gallery. There are really no tourists. We can quietly enjoy these sculptures that are publicly placed outside. It is really lifelike. Many of them are classic works that can be said. Florence is really the capital of literature and art. I am willing to bring out the best products to the world!
The mercenary corridor on the side of the square is the highlight of the whole square. On the far left of the gallery is a copy of Benvenuto Chelini's work "Perseus holding up Medusa's head" (1554), followed by Pio Ferdinand's "Struggling Polyxena" (1865), Hercules of Jembolona "Fighting Half Maniesos" (1599), "Menelaus lifting up the body of Patrocros", and at the end of the gallery are five Greek myths. The statues of the goddess are Matthia, Mahina, Agaripina and so on.
Loggia Dei Lanzi is a famous building in Palazzo Vecchio, Italy. The wide arches with three compartments display many famous statues. The themes of these statues mainly come from Greek mythology and classical Roman stories. It seems interesting to know and understand some Greek mythologists. The statues include: Passion and Medusa, the goblin of serpents. The Rape of Polyxena, the Sabin women, Ajas carrying the body of Patrocles and Heracles, etc.
