In art, the theme symbolized the triumph of humility over pride and vice, and we well known to Florentines through Donatello's bronze in the Piazza della Signoria. The tin-glazed terracotta group of Judith was attributed to Giovanni Della Robbia (1469-1529/3- by Marquand (1920), and this opinion was upheld by Gentilini (nd 1992). Nine examples, excluding the Fitzwilliam/'s have been recorded with their present locations by Tscermak von Seysenegg (1986 and 1989). Each model differs in some respects from the others. Rackham (1935) dated this example to about 1525 but it was probably made in the mid-19th century, The revised dating follows thermoluminescence analysis by the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford (sample 581m28 taken 8 October 1993, report dated 19 November 1993) which estimated that the material of the sample was last fired less than 200 years ago, i.e. after 1793. It is not known when Whewell purchased it or whether it belonged to one of his two wives, but given his date of death in 1866 it must have been made before the 1860s. reference term-114523 adlib-term-114523 435b2a3c-ff47-31ed-bed3-17b95d739d0a 19th Century, first half reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-106508 adlib-term-106508 f7f1399b-d092-3a3d-8f96-c3aee3ad8fd5 literal Italy Italy country Florence pale buff reference term-33162 adlib-term-33162 6f1730c6-1049-36b9-80ae-d22bc9d2254c terracotta Height cm 62 reference media-205413 adlib-media-205413 01859d2b-331a-37f4-ad4b-75db7f1d79c4 jpeg aa/aa37/C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 734 1702926537871 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 698 width pixels 500 1702926537871 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 734 1702926537871 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 349 width pixels 250 1702926537871 1 image 0 media image reference media-18044 adlib-media-18044 4801fc79-9ac9-37f1-8c9e-b3d14d80dc32 jpeg aa/aa5/C_2170_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926619690 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/mid_C_2170_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926619690 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/C_2170_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926619690 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/preview_C_2170_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926619690 1 image 1 media image reference media-18045 adlib-media-18045 e8be6262-d661-38ba-baa9-2a2e23c36038 jpeg aa/aa5/C_2170_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926676993 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/mid_C_2170_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926676993 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/C_2170_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926676993 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/preview_C_2170_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926676993 1 image 2 media image reference media-18046 adlib-media-18046 bbe2ac57-7d37-3670-b13b-b27e5371a898 jpeg aa/aa5/C_2170_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926470641 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/mid_C_2170_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926470641 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/C_2170_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926470641 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/preview_C_2170_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926470641 1 image 3 media image reference media-339528309 portfolio portfolio-media-339528309 84c4358b-147f-3dfd-8ea6-fa899a8a0f91 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/318/324/large_C_2170_1928_1_201702_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1431 width pixels 1024 1511571541000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/318/324/mid_C_2170_1928_1_201702_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 699 width pixels 500 1511571541000 1 image C.2170-1928_1_201702_mas.tif 1511571541000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/318/324/preview_C_2170_1928_1_201702_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 349 width pixels 250 1511571541000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/318/324/C_2170_1928_1_201702_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5355 width pixels 3833 1511571541000 1 image 4 media image reference media-3185326608 portfolio portfolio-media-3185326608 9c45e739-8b8b-3e54-8a31-38358d77a5c7 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/624/559/large_C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1431 width pixels 1024 1550047662000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/624/559/mid_C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 699 width pixels 500 1550047662000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/624/559/C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 4000 width pixels 2863 1550047662000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/624/559/preview_C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 349 width pixels 250 1550047662000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/624/559/C_2170_1928_1_201702_dc1.ptif 1 height pixels 4000 width pixels 2863 1550047662000 1 image 5 media image reference media-1093641142 portfolio portfolio-media-1093641142 e1b976e8-a83c-3824-b13a-f4c986c6f326 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/41/407/large_C_2170_1928_1_201702_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1431 width pixels 1024 1695946380000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/41/407/mid_C_2170_1928_1_201702_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 699 width pixels 500 1695946380000 1 image C.2170-1928_1_201702_mas.tif 1695946380000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/41/407/preview_C_2170_1928_1_201702_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 349 width pixels 250 1695946380000 1 image 6 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group history note Dr William Whewell D.D.
