Aspetti, Tiziano

Italian original Cite

ASPETTI, TIZIANO. - Sculptor, b. in Padua in 1565 and d. in Pisa in 1607. He remains constantly within the sphere of Tuscan Mannerism, particularly that of Giambologna, tempered only, in his early Venetian works, by a certain naturalistic sense that came to him from Vittoria. His works are preserved in the Doge's Palace and in S. Francesco della Vigna in Venice: two statues of Virtue, and two of Moses and St. Paul (signed); in the Cathedral of Padua there remain figures of saints inspired by Donatello, scenes of the Martyrdom of St. Daniel, and in S. Trinità in Florence a relief with the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence, as well as numerous small bronze statuettes in public and private collections.
