This 3D-printed replica meticulously recreates Giovanni Battista Foggini’s David Victorious over Goliath, a terracotta sculpture from 1722, originally crafted in Florence under Medici patronage. The Baroque masterpiece, housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art, captures the biblical triumph of David with emotional depth and intricate detail, diverging from traditional heroic depictions through its humble and introspective portrayal. This replica preserves the sculpture’s delicate textures, naturalistic posture, and subtle expression, offering a faithful representation of Foggini’s technical mastery.
Material Options:
Black Nylon: Treated with a post-printing Color Touch finish, black nylon offers durability and resistance to scratching, rubbing, and external conditions. The surface is smooth and high-quality.
White Nylon: Processed through polishing, white nylon provides a smooth-to-touch finish at an economical price point. It offers a clean, minimalist aesthetic suitable for detailed reproductions.
Bronze: Created via metal casting, bronze delivers an elegant, timeless appearance. A wax master model, produced through 3D printing, is used to create a plaster mold, into which molten bronze is injected, replacing the wax to form the final piece.
Brass: Produced using the same metal casting process as bronze, brass offers a refined, golden-toned finish, enhancing the sculpture’s intricate details with a sophisticated sheen.
Gold-Plated Brass: Brass castings are electroplated with gold, combining the durability of brass with a luxurious, radiant finish that elevates the replica’s aesthetic appeal.
White Rhodium-Plated Brass: Electroplated with white rhodium, this brass option provides a sleek, silvery finish, offering a modern contrast to the sculpture’s Baroque origins.
Note: Objects exceeding the size limitations of the production process for specific materials will be reproduced at a reduced scale to ensure compatibility, while maintaining proportional accuracy to the original sculpture.
