The original figures were commissioned by 'Ferdinando I de'Medici' and were excuted by Giovanni di Scherano

The original pair remained in Rome until 1789, before being moved to Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, where they can
still be seen today. The two sculptures were hugely influential in eighteenth-century Europe: copies and versions can
be found from landscape gardens to mantlepieces
