Hope
by GIAMBOLOGNA, Bronze
At the end of the XVI century, Giambologna decorated the Grimaldi Chapel in the church of San Francesco di Castelletto, Genoa. Six life-size statues depicting Charity, Justice, Hope, Fortitude, Faith, and Temperance; seven bas-reliefs; and six winged representations of putti are what remains of the original monumental project. The bronze statues of the Virtues are now at the University of Genoa.
The picture shows Hope, one of the six bronze statues.
