Abstract

Giambologna’s giant and the cinquecento villa garden as a landscape of suffering una roman d’elia Jacopo Bonfadio wrote in 1541, when comparing the countryside around Naples to villa gardens. Elite patrons had a taste for displaying heroic but also mournful that near Florence: ‘Nature seems to lord with authority, but in ruling everywhere representations of the old pagan nature gods, giant works of artifice that make rejoices and laughs’. The abundant joy of nature — the laughing of bubbling stone and water into the products of a tragic, very human, history. streams amid the blooming of verdant slopes — would seem to be the ideal subject A few scholars have commented on the ‘gloom of the garden’, and Claudia for imagery in pleasure villa gardens. The water, rocks, and plants of Cinquecento Lazzaro, Herve Brunon, and others have offered rich surveys of garden sculpture villa gardens were often seen as magically animate. Raffaello Gualterotti wrote that in general and that of the Villa Medici in Pratolino in particular, drawing in the Villa Medici in Pratolino nymphs and gods had changed into laurel and comparisons to literary evocations of nature. No one, however, has traced myrtle, their previous forms stamped
