About
Why this artist matters now
Lorenzo Bartolini was an Italian sculptor who tempered neoclassical form with sentimental piety and naturalistic detail, drawing inspiration from Florentine Renaissance sculpture rather than the dominant idiom of Antonio Canova. His approach allowed him to distinguish himself from his Florentine contemporaries by recovering local sculptural traditions while working within classical parameters. His figures combine the restraint of neoclassicism with an emotional and material specificity that prefigures later nineteenth-century practice.
