Lot Essay

The present bronze figure of Minerva is known in variant examples in several museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Although the composition has been attributed to Alessandro Vittoria and Tiziano Aspetti in the past, it has more recently been attributed to fellow Venetian sculptor Girolamo Campagna (Scholten, loc. cit.).
