After training in Florence, Giovanni Battista Foggini was sent to Rome in 1673 by Cosimo III de' Medici, grand duke of Tuscany, to attend the new Accademia Fiorentina. He returned home in 1676 with the characteristic Baroque, painterly style he kept for life. Foggini's reliefs often display contrasting diagonals and skies with mythological or Christian figures amid clouds and shafts of light. Drap
