Dying Adonis
by ROSSI, Vincenzo de', Marble
Around 1565 de’ Rossi executed a Dying Adonis, which was sent to Isabella de’ Medici at the Medici villa at Poggio Imperiale. The Dying Adonis was attributed to Michelangelo from the mid-17th century and is clearly inspired by his art, particularly the figure of Night in the Medici Chapel (San Lorenzo, Florence).
