Girolamo Bagnasco

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Girolamo Bagnasco (* 1759 in Palermo ; † 1832 there ) was an Italian sculptor of the late baroque and classicism in Sicily .

Bagnasco was the founder of a family of sculptors in Palermo. He worked in several churches in Palermo, for example in Santa Maria Nuova , where he created a "Mother of Sorrows".

Initially strongly attached to the baroque, he later switched to the style of classicism.

His son Nicolò Bagnasco (1792–1827) worked on the figurative decoration of the Porta Felice. Another well-known member of the family is Rosario Bagnasco (* 1845).
