BARTOLINI, LORENZO (1777-1850)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 450 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARTOLINI, LORENZO (1777-1850) , Italian sculptor, was born in Vernio in Tuscany. After acquiring
great
  skill and reputation as a modeller in alabaster, he went in 1797 to Paris, where he studied painting under
Desmarets
 , and afterwards sculpture under F. F. Lemot. The bas-relief " Cleobis and Biton," with which he gained the second prize of the
Academy
  in 18os, at once established his fame as a sculptor and gained for him a number of influential patrons. He executed many
minor
  pieces for
Denon
 , besides busts of Maul and
Cherubini
 . His
great
  patron, however, was
Napoleon
 , for whom he executed a colossal bust, and who sent him to
Carrara
  to found a school of sculpture. Here he remained till after the fall of
Napoleon
 , and then took up his residence in Florence, where he resided till his death. His works are varied and include an immense number of busts. The best are, perhaps, the group of Charity, the " Hercules and Lichas " and the " Faith in God," whsrh exemplify the highest types of Bartolini's style. Popular
opinion
  in Italy associates his qualities as a sculptor with those of Thorwaldsen and
Canova
