Italian original Cite

CORRADINI, ANTONIO. - Sculptor, b. at Este toward the end of the 17th century, d. at Naples on 12 Aug. 1752.

An excellent decorator, he owed the full flowering of his art and of his personality to the example of Bernini. Besides a marble group representing the Betrothal of Mary, carved for a fountain in Vienna, he sculpted the tomb of St. John of Nepomuk in Prague, groups of statues for the Grosser Garten in Dresden, the statue of General Schulenburg in Corfu, and the veiled statue of Faith at Gurk (1721). His last and most characteristic work was the statue of Modesty in S. Severo in Naples.
