Giovanni Emanueli

Giovanni Antonio Emanueli (born March 9, 1817 in Brescia , † November 30, 1894 in Milan ) was an Italian sculptor .

Life

Thanks to a scholarship from his home town of Brescia, Emanueli studied from 1831 at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan with Antonio Durelli , from 1833 with Abbondio Sangiorgio . In December 1842 he settled in Milan, but continued to carry out numerous commissions in his hometown of Brescia.

At the age of 14 he made a portrait bust of Emperor Franz II / I. aware of oneself. Further works followed, such as busts of Field Marshal Radetzky or Napoleon Bonaparte, as well as a group, Die Pfeifer , which was awarded by the Brera Academy and exhibited in Vienna , Munich and Paris . His overall work , however, consisted mainly of sacred sculpture such as grave monuments and church figures, which are mostly in Brescia or Milan.

Emanueli belongs to the middle period of the renewal of Italian sculpture, as represented by the group around Tantardini , a successor to Lorenzo Bartolini .
