From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vincenzo de' Rossi (b. Fiesole, 1525. d. Florence, 1587) was an Italian sculptor.

Dying Adonis

Work[]

Theseus and Helen by Vincenzo de' Rossi. The sculpture was highly praised at the time for having been crafted from a single piece of marble, without additions, as was common.[1]

Rossi was mentored by Baccio Bandinelli.

Many of Rossi's works historically were incorrectly attributed to Michelangelo, such as Dying Adonis.[1]

Some of his most famous works were his sculptures of the Twelve Labours of Hercules, of which he only completed seven.[2][1] Six of these sculptures are located in at the Palazzo Vecchio.[2] The seventh labour, Hercules with Atlas, is located at the Villa di Poggio Imperiale.
