^^ I don't know why that extraordinary "cthonic" figure is not better known. Not only is it an amazing technical feat, it's highly original, deeply archaic, and weirdly modern. Eerie and disturbing and yet kind of funny. (Giambologna must have enjoyed the prospect of making the giant's nostrils smoke.)
Reminds me of Michelangelo's last sculptures, where the living bodies are still half-trapped in the stone and trying to get out, struggling to be born (I don't think these works are "unfinished"):
