專家說明
Le présent bronze est moulé d’après le cannone di San Paolo, qui tire son nom de la tête barbue du saint émergeant du revers du canon. L’œuvre a été originellement commanditée vers 1638 pour la Forteresse de Pise par le Grand-Duc Ferdinand II de Médicis (1610-1670) et donc frappée des armes des Médicis ainsi qu’ornée de motifs militaires illustrant la force et le pouvoir du Duché de Toscane. Le canon original fait désormais partie de la collection du Museo Nazionale del Bargello (inv. 251 AM).

The work was originally commissioned circa 1638 for the Fortress of Pisa by Grand Duke Ferdinando II de Medici (1610-1670) and thus cast with the Medici coat of arms and military motifs illustrating the strength and power of the Duchy of Tuscany. The original canon is now in the collection of the Museo Nazionale del Bargello (inv. 251 AM).
