Costantino Corti : ウィキペディア英語版 | Costantino Corti
Costantino Corti (1823/24–1873) was a Milanese sculptor who exhibited at Brera and in Florence, London, and Paris. Corti was most noted for his colossal statue ''Lucifer''. He also produced statues commemorating Federico Borromeo, Conrad of Swabia,〔It is unclear whether the subject was Conrad III of Germany or Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor.〕 and the astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi.〔''Nuove effemeridi Siciliane di scienze, lettere ed arti'' (Palermo, 1871), vol. 3, p. 480 (online. )〕 ==Works== Corti's marble ''Lucifer'' (sometimes titled as ''Satan'') was commissioned by the Count d'Aquila, brother of the former king of Naples. At the end of the 19th century, a traveler and amateur critic offered this assessment of the work: ''Lucifer'' was reviewed by Francesco dall' Ongaro at rhapsodic length as a worthy representation of the Satanic ideal shared in the literary works of John Milton or Lord Byron. Dall' Ongaro found the figure "androgynous," in keeping with the theological view that gender came into existence only with the creation of human beings and was not a characteristic of angels.〔Francesco dall' Ongaro, ''L'arte italiana a Parigi nell'esposizione universale del 1867'' (Florence, 1869), pp. 137–145.〕 The sculpture received notice for its "extraordinary vigor."〔''Con vigore straordinario'', C. Jacopo Cavalluci, ''Manuale di storia della scultura'' (Turin, 1884), p. 404.〕 Corti's monument to Cardinal Borromeo was commissioned in 1861 for the plaza of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana. The statue was completed in 1864, and dedicated the following year.〔Giuseppe Mongeri, "Monumento al Cardinale Federico Borromeo," in ''L'arte in Milano'' (Milan, 1872), p. 523 (online. ) See also ''Guida sommaria per il visitatore della Biblioteca Ambrosiana'' (Milan, 1907), p. 25 (online. )〕 The statue of Giuseppe Piazzi, dedicated in 1871, is located in the main plaza of Ponte in Valtellina, the astronomer's birthplace.〔''Guida alla Valtellina ed alle sue acque minerali'' (Sondrio, 1884) p. 239 (online. )〕
