Catalogue Note
Little is known of the Tuscan sculptor Paolo Triscornia, yet his sculptural prowess manifests in his extant marbles after the antique, which is awe-inspiring. Triscornia spent most of his career in Saint Petersburg and houses the highest concentration of his work. Triscornia sculptures now in the Hermitage include Laocoon (1789), Cupid and Psyche, Diana and Endymion and a copy of Gian-Lorenzo Bernini's Apollo and Daphne. Triscornia also worked on the sculptural program at Michàjlovskij, the residence of Peter I and carved full-scale replicas of the ancient Horse Tamers for the gates of the riding school of the Russian Imperial Guard.
