Describe the characteristics of the Delays in Equestrian statue of Henry IV's Creation.
It was the concern for time that made Giambologna have his assistant, Pietro Tacca aid him on the project. Tacca had been the one to cast the bronze of both the horse and body of Henry IV. He had also been the one to have made the head of the statue and the extra embellishments on the front of Henry IV.  He even had to take over the project when Giambolongna had died in August 1608. At the time of Giambologna's death, Pietro Tacca was working on a commission for the wedding of the Grand Duchess Cristina. Another instance included bad weather impeding the casting of the horses in bronze near the end of 1608.Delays in the transport of the statue from the workshop to Paris occurred as well. Pietro Tacca and Giovan Battista Cresci had to weigh the statue, which took time that Marie de Médicis had not wanted to waste. Afterwards there was a stall after the statue's pieces arrived in Livorno, as no one decided to ship it out for almost a year. Various other delays occurred, such as complications in transportation by ship, like after landing in Savona, where the statue's parts were stranded on the seaport's docks for at least a week.
