Francesco Sanguinetti

Francesco Sanguinetti , also Franz Sanguinetti (* 1800 in Carrara , † February 15, 1870 in Munich ) was an Italian sculptor .

Life

Sanguinetti was born in Carrara as the son of the sculptor, stonemason and violinist Gaetano Sanguinetti. Like his brother Alessandro , he first learned from his father and continued his education until 1818 in the workshop of Christian Daniel Rauch and Christian Friedrich Tieck in Carrara. In 1818 he went to the Royal Prussian Academy of the Arts in Berlin as Rauch's favorite student and worked there in its workshop until 1828. From 1822 to 1828 he took part in the Berlin Academy exhibitions with his own sculptures. In 1829 Sanguinetti moved to Munich and took part in the execution of the statue designed by Rauch for the Bavarian King Max I , who died in 1825 . After a trip to Italy, he settled permanently in Munich, where he initially worked as an employee of Ludwig Schwanthaler and later ran his own studio. During this time he made numerous sculptures for Munich buildings, some of which were based on designs by other sculptors. According to information in the Lexicon of Artists of All Times and Nations, he died in February 1870 at the age of 70. In the 3rd volume of the lexicon in 1864 it was still written that he was born in 1804. This date can also be found in other older sources such as Georg Kaspar Nagler's artist lexicon . However, the obituary in the Allgemeine Zeitung confirms 1800 as the year of birth.
