In 1611, German ducal agent and art collector Philipp Hainhofer recorded two bronze statuettes in an imperial Augsburg collection: "a group of a lion slaying a horse," and "a group of a lion slaying a bull." These sculptures, he writes, were "*di mano del*" (by the hand of) Florentine court sculptor, Giambologna (1529--1608).[^1] From Giambologna's eighteenth-century biographer, we learn that the subjects were cast in multiple, continuing even after his death.[^2] Though the location of the Augsburg casts is unknown, others survive across various collections. Only two "sets," however, are signed, one in the Museo di Palazzo Venezia in Rome and the other broken up between the Louvre and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
