Round 9: 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 (10[1])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. (10[1]-5[1])Neptune and Tallus (10[1])are shown reclining in a work by this sculptor intended for Francis I. For 10 points, name this Mannerist (10[1])sculptor of a golden Salt Cellar.
