Bandinelli worked in marble on monumental multi figure groups in Florence during the same era, most notably his Hercules and Cacus in the Piazza della Signoria, directly adjacent to where Giambologna's work stands. Both artists shared a commitment to dramatic muscular figuration carved from single massive marble blocks in a Mannerist idiom.

Cellini's Perseus with the Head of Medusa stands in the same Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence and shares Giambologna's emphasis on serpentine multi figure mythological narrative rendered with extreme technical virtuosity. Both artists pushed Mannerist figuration toward dynamic contraposto forms imbued with violent classical subject matter.

Canova carried forward Giambologna's tradition of large scale marble multi figure mythological compositions with similarly charged physical drama, as seen in works like The Three Graces and Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss. His mastery of carving intertwined figures from single marble blocks in narratives drawn from classical mythology directly echoes the formal and thematic ambitions of the Sabine Women.
