Abstract
The text presents a pair of unpublished wooden sculptures depicting Adoring Angels, acquired on the Roman antiques market in the 1970s and kept for a long time in a prestigious private collection. Sculpted with great executive refinement by an artist who seems to have particular familiarity with marble sculpture, the two statues fit fully into the Florentine artistic environment between the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth century, presenting persuasive elements of comparison with the corpus of Giovanni Caccini.
