Catalogue Note
Romanelli trained and worked in Florence, first with Luigi Pampaloni and subsequently with Lorenzo Bartolini, the most distinguished Tuscan neo-classical sculptor, whose studio he inherited.
Romanelli achieved an international reputation for his finely carved mythological, historical and monumental figures. His sons Raffaello and Romano continued his legacy which lives on to the present day; the Romanelli studio remains a rare survival in Florence today.
