Antique Sculpture: Sculpture of the Late Renaissance in Italy followed two paths : one which exaggerated Michelangelo's use of pronounced muscles, twisting poses and elongated figures; and the other which more clearly was inspired directly by the antique sculpture. The Michelangelesque manner was used mostly for large works: architectural sculpture, fountains, public monuments and tombs. The classicizing tendency was pronounced in garden sculpture and bronze statuettes. Important sculptors of the period venuto Cellini, famous as a goldsmith (1500-1571), Bartolommeo Ammanati (1511-1592), the Italianized Fleming, Giovanni da Bologna (Jean Boulogne, known as Giambologna, 1529P-1608), and the Venetian, Alessandro Vittoria (1524-1608).
