RE: In The World Of Sculptures

He got hanged, that's right but this sculpture is not about that, I don't see the rope around his neck or the marks.

Besides, I went back to read the article I mentioned in my post and this is what it says about him:

The artist depicts Savonarola as completely blind. The absurd form of expression is most appropriate to convey the unusual behavior of the phantom, who turns inward, into his fever dreams, with a long neck, a thin bone, a crooked nose, and pointed ears. Only the sculptural treatment of the monk's robe remains attractive. He could not have caricatured the figure of the fanatical Dominican monk more sharply than this.

So it's a caricature after all 😂
