The Italian was sculpted and cast before 1634, following a marble Italian copy of a Hellenistic marble original. Although the original was found in Rome, it was removed to Florence in the mid-16th century by the Medici family.

The Southern sculpture was given to Greenville by young friends of Florence in October of 2011.
