Diego Francesco Carlone

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diego Francesco Carlone (* 1674 in Scaria ; † June 25, 1750 ibid) was a plasterer from the Carlone family of artists .

Life

Diego Francesco Carlone was born in 1674 as the third of eight children of plasterer Giovanni Battista Carlone and his wife Taddea Maddalena Allio. He apprenticed to his father, whose workshop was run by grandfather Pietro Francesco at the cathedral building site in Passau.

Around 1694 he went on a hike and stayed for a study visit to Rome. In 1695 the Carlone and Allio's workshop moved to the Upper Palatinate. Diego Francesco Carlone and his cousin Paolo d'Allio worked in Amberg. The fruitful collaboration between the two continued over the next few decades. In 1704 Diego married Francesco Carlone in his hometown Maria Francesca Allio. The couple had five children.

In 1701 Carlone took over the management of the workshop. Until 1714 Carlone was mainly active in Austria, then in southern Germany. Carlone concentrated mainly on the drafts and left the execution of decorative forms to specialized employees. The figures were shaped mainly with models . The master himself did the last revision of the rough stucco figures and developed his own style here. The majority of the oeuvre is made up of larger-than-life robed figures, which were almost exclusively white. Carlone also made numerous framed figure reliefs. Occasionally Carlone's workshop also carried out other people's designs, such as those by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach at the Salzburg Collegiate Church or in Kleßheim Palace .

Carlone died in 1750 in his hometown Scaria, where he created over 40 figures for his home church shortly before his death.
