Note 9 — BERNINI
Reading edition
It is not improbable that the statue of St. Lawrence, in the Strozzi palace in Florence, which Bernini made at this time, was influenced by the Dying Gaul. The two statues resemble each other closely in many ways. There is a tradition that Michael Angelo restored certain small portions of the Gaul, but the character of the work of the restorations suggests Bernini rather than Michael Angelo.
