Biography
Biography
He was influenced by artists such as Giambologna and Tribolo. Lorenzi mostly executed bronze sculptures. Among his best known works are the Annunciation in Santa Maria della Spina, Pisa (1561), the Fountain of Neptune 1565–1568) placed in the Boboli Gardens, Florence, and the bronze angel holding a candelabra which he executed for the Duomo di Pisa. He was also part of a team of artists providing sculpture for the Studiolo of Francesco I at the Piazza Vecchio, and for this he made a bronze Galatea (1573) and the statuette of Amphitrite holding a nautilus and a coral branch. He is counted among artists responsible for the diffusion of mannerist style by subsequently doing work in Milan. In Milan, he provided some sculptures for the façade of Santa Maria presso San Celso (1573–1582). Lorenzi died in Pisa in 1583.
