MICHELANGELO'S four bronze statues, named Day, Night, Twilight and Dawn and collected by the House of Medici who ruled over Florence in the 15th and 16th century, will be replicated for the first time in China by the Heng Yuan Xiang Art Museum.
Michelangelo (1475-1564), a Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect and poet, left only a few sculptures in the world. It is thus very rare to find his works.
The museum spokesman Guo Jianchen said they will make six replica sets of Michelangelo's four sculptures. The first set will come out in August. But he did not reveal who will buy these replicas and at what prices.
The four masterpieces were created between 1520-1534 when Michelangelo was in his 40s and 50s and they took him almost 15 years to accomplish.
The original sculptures are now displayed at the San Lorenzo Church of the Medicci Family in Florence.
The replication project is part of the "Italian Year in China" program this year. A few years ago, Thinker, a statue made by French sculptor Auguste Rodin, was also copied and acquired by a Chinese real estate company in Shanghai.
