At first glance, this bronze statuette from Florence appears to show an elegant couple dancing together. But its creator Giambologna (aka Giovanni da Bologna) uses the piece to tell a far more disturbing story of a violent deprivation of liberty. The majesty of the work lies in the way the artist injects lightness and beauty into a scene of pure terror. Check out the original at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.
