Andrea brustolon biography

Andrea Brustolon (Belluno, 1662 – 1732) was one of the great protagonists of late Baroque sculpture in the Veneto region between the 17th and 18th centuries. He was a pupil of Filippo Parodi in Venice, who gave him a liveliness and elegance of composition that has always remained in his style, and a memory in his mature phase of the Gothic memories and the presence of other artists, such as the painter and friend Gaspare Diziani.

Monumental was his conception of statuary, which also manifested itself in the craft tradition of wood sculpture, a decorative taste that led him to devote a considerable part of his activity to the production of furniture, frames and other furnishings that brought him fame and generous, lasting critical acclaim. Among his most representative works are the large sets he made for the Correr family (highchairs, plant pots, etc.), now in Ca’ Rezzonico in Venice, and fo Andrea Brustolon.
