Anton Maria Maragliano (18 September 1664 – 7 March 1739)〔Casalis mentions the dates as 1665-1741.〕 was an Italian sculptor of the Baroque period, known primarily for his wooden statues. He was born in Genoa, where he led an important workshop. He is called also Maraggiano by some ancient authors. He pioneered important developments in the style of sculpting in wood, parallel to those driven by Filippo Parodi in marble sculpture and Domenico Piola in painting. His workshop produced many typical religious sculptures, representing Madonnas, figures of saints and narrative scenes from the Bible. These are now preserved in many churches and sactuaries throughout Liguria (mainly in Genoa, Rapallo, Chiavari, Celle Ligure, Savona) and also in Spain. For the ''Casacce'' (the Genoese confraternities) he also produced statues and crucifixes to be carried in processions on feast days. He was called by Casalis, the ''Phidias of Genoa''. His son Giovanni Battista Maragliano was also a wood sculptor in Cadiz and Lisbon, till his death during a robbery in the latter city. Among other pupils were Francesco and Pietro Galeano.〔(Dizionario geografico-storico-statistico-commerciale degli stati del Re di Sardegna ), Volume 7, by Goffredo Casalis, Turin (1840), page 726.〕 ==Works== His works include: *''St. Francis's Ecstasy'' in the Church of Padre Santo (St. Francesco Maria da Camporosso) in Genoa *''Vision of St. Pascal Baylon'' in the church of Santissima Annunziata del Vastato in Genoa *Procession statues of St. Anthony Abbot and St. Paul the First Hermit, preserved in the church of St. Anthony Abbot (Mele - Genoa) *''St. Michael Archangel'' in the Oratory of San Michele (Celle Ligure) *Figures of the crib at the Sanctuary of Madonnetta, Genoa. *In Cadiz: ''Madonna del Carmine'',''San Raffaele Archangel'',''Risen Christ'' *In Santa Margherita Ligure three interesting works: ''Guardian Angel'' and ''St. John Nepomunk'' at the Basilica of Santa Margherita and ''St. Erasmus'' at the Oratory of Sant'Erasmo. *A wooden Madonna preserved in the church of San Francesco alla Chiappetta at Bolzaneto (Genova) *A crucifix in San Croce Church in Moneglia. *A wooden Madonna of San Giorgio at Bormida (Province of Savona) (uncertainly attributed to him).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Comune di Bormida: Monumenti )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anton Maria Maragliano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
