Quellinus made a journey to Rome in the 1630s. Here he was inspired by classical, Renaissance and baroque art. This signed terracotta model illustrates Quellinus’ interest in 16th-century Italian art. It is a copy of The Day (c. 1526) by Michelangelo (1475–1564) on the tomb of Giuliano de’ Medici in the San Lorenzo church in Florence.
