Colossus of the Apennines

 
Colossus of the Apennines 
 Sculptor, Giambologna (1580)

Measuring about 35 feet tall, it’s one of  the most spectacular feature of the gardens of Villa Medici at Pratolino, now part of Villa Demidoff, located about 7 miles north of Florence, Italy. 
Sculpted as though a minimal margin between nature and man.
