THE RAPE OF THE SABINE WOMAN, AMILCARE SANTINI, ITALY, CCA. 1960s

The Rape of the Sabine Women sculpture by Amilcare Santini, made in Italy, circa 1960

This beautiful reproduction of The Rape of the Sabine Women was created by Amilcare Santini (1910–1975) after the masterpiece by the renowned Renaissance sculptor Giambologna, originally executed between 1579 and 1583. It is considered one of the most important Mannerist sculptures, celebrated for its remarkable spiral composition, dynamic movement, and extraordinary technical mastery. The original was carved from a single block of marble and is displayed in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence.

The present sculpture was produced using a technique that Santini himself helped to develop. It was created by combining marble powder, alabaster, and resin into a specially formulated composite material, which was then poured into molds prepared by the artist. Once the material had hardened at room temperature, the sculpture was removed from the mold and carefully finished by hand. Santini was particularly renowned for producing faithful reproductions of masterpieces from Greek, Roman, and Renaissance art. His sculptures are regarded among the finest museum-quality reproductions ever made, admired for their exceptional craftsmanship and remarkable fidelity to the original works.

This sculpture offers a wonderful opportunity to bring both the beauty of classical art and the artistry of Amilcare Santini into your home.
