Round 8: Tossup 10
Several drawings by Francesco Bertoli are the only evidence of a now-lost clasp made by this sculptor, which featured a diamond then considered the second-largest in the world. This artist’s numerous medallions include a depiction of Atlas holding up the world and a work showing Leda and the Swan. The only remaining part of this artist’s “Golden Gate” depicts a figure along with a stag, dogs, and other animals. Four gold figures representing the times of day can be seen in another work by this artist of the Nymph of Fontainebleau. Neptune and Tallus are shown reclining in a work by this sculptor intended for Francis I. For 10 points, name this Mannerist sculptor of a golden Salt Cellar. ■END■
