Catalogue Note
Pasquale Romanelli achieved an international reputation for his finely carved mythological, historical and monumental figures. The artist trained and worked in Florence, first with Luigi Pampaloni and subsequently with Lorenzo Bartolini, the most distinguished Tuscan Neoclassical sculptor, whose studio he inherited. The Romanelli studio, now a private museum, remains a rare survival in Florence.
