Description:-

Florentine Boar  Tacca's original bronze   circa 1612 Pietro Tacca (sculptor, 1577-1640)

The original boar was carved from marble during the centuries BC by a Greek sculptor. This sculpture was either lost or destroyed.
During the 17th century the Italians made a marble copy 'Cinghiale' housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

It has been suggested the original ancient Greek marble Boar was thought to be a part of a larger group representing a hunting scene, where he was just awakening having been disturbed by the hunt.
