Giuseppe Grandi (1843–1894) was an Italian sculptor, painter and engraver. ==Life== Grandi was born and died in Valganna. Taught by Vela at the Accademia di Brera, in 1866 he won the Canonica competition with a sculpture called ''Ulisse'' and began to work on a verist sculpture of Tabacchi at Turin. After his Turin period, he returned to Milan, where he joined the Lombard Scapigliatura school. He was a friend of Cremona and Ranzoni, and with them assumed a renewed anti-academist position and shared their common luministic research. Forgetting neoclassical smoothness and the lucidity of Romantic art, he sought the luministic effects of painting in sculpture. One of his best-known works is the monument to Cesare Beccaria of 1871, along with the lesser-known ''paggio di Lara'' of 1873 and his ''Maresciallo Ney'' of 1874. In 1881 his initial design won a public competition to create a monument to the ''Five Days of Milan'' in piazza di Porta Vittoria in Milan. For thirteen years he worked intensively at compositions, modelli, bronze casting, and even created a small menagerie of animals as live models for the work. For each of the Five Days he had many different and well-known models pose, but he died in 1894, before he could see his work inaugurated. The city of Milan has renamed a piazza after him. 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「Giuseppe Grandi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
