Benedetto Cacciatori
Benedetto Cacciatori (born December 29, 1794 in Carrara ; † September 25, 1871 there ) was an Italian sculptor .
Life
Benedetto Cacciatori received his first training from his father, the sculptor Ludovico Cacciatori († 1854), and then attended the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara with Lorenzo Bartolini . In 1810 his father brought him to Milan and entrusted him to Camillo Pacetti , a representative of classicism , at the Accademia di Brera . In 1817 he received the first prize of the academy for his design Hercules wrests the Dejanira from the centaur Nessus .
At a young age he received commissions from Maria Christina of Savoy for the castle of Agliè and from Karl Felix for the Hautecombe Abbey in Savoy, for which he made numerous statues with the help of his father and brother Candido.
Until 1860 he taught as a professor at the Accademia di Brera. Among his students were Vincenzo Vela and Francesco Barzaghi .
Cacciatori created numerous statues, monuments and tombs in Lombardy and Piedmont . His works are based on the classicist style of Pacetti, but also show Bartolini's influences with elements of reflection on the Renaissance .
