Lazaro Maria Sanguinetti

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lazaro Maria Sanguinetti (* 1660 in Genoa , † around 1740 probably in Koblenz ) was a fresco painter of the Baroque . There is evidence that he worked as a fresco painter in castles and churches from 1682 to 1738. He worked spatially in Bohemia , Franconia , Hesse , Thuringia , in the Rhineland and made a detour to Lorraine .

Life

Sanguinetti was mentioned in a letter on February 10, 1702 as Sanguinetti (Lazarus Maria) “ premier peintre de SAR le duc Léopold ” (German: “First Painter of His Royal Highness the Duke Léopold ”), who was active in Nancy at that time .

He was married to Magdalena (née Jakobs) and has verifiably three children: Roderico, Magdalena Sidona, baptized on August 3, 1699 in Koblenz, Anna Elisabetha, baptized on February 18, 1709 in Koblenz, granddaughter: Maria Anna, baptized on 27. February 1744. Sanguinetti was a migrant worker, but he lived with his family in Koblenz from at least 1699, probably until his death around 1740 . Numerous buildings in which he created the frescoes were built according to plans by the Dientzenhofer family of builders . This suggests a special closeness to this family.

From the contract with Daniel Schenk, the electoral Mainz court plasterer, from March 3, 1715, it emerges that the virtuoso painter Sanguinetti had to paint the entire choir of the new court church in frescoes. Sanguinetti created the ceiling paintings with the sky of saints in the main room and the sufferings of Christ in the choir. For his work he received 833 guilders and 30 kreuzers, plus breakfast and dinner. His mason (plasterer) was called Jakob and was possibly a relative of his wife.

  • 1738: Löhnberg , Hessen, Ev. Parish church: The church itself is a late baroque building with a unique painting that was only conceivable in a Lutheran congregation. The ceiling painting, probably painted by Lazarus Maria Sanguinetti, depicts the Trinity, archangels, angels and putti.

Sanguinetti was one of the many baroque artists, largely unknown today, who provided the residences with splendid furnishings. The appreciation of his work at the time can be clearly seen in a comparison: the court marshal of the residence in Bartenstein had an annual salary of 300 guilders, a stately home near the castle cost 700 guilders.
