Antonio Bonazza

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonio Bonazza was an Italian sculptor of the Rococo (1698-c1762). Son of Giovanni Bonazza, a prominent sculptor active in Padua (1695-1730), and member of a large family of sculptors. Antonio is best known for his sculpture of genre themes, suggesting characters from the theater for the formal gardens of Villa Ludovico Widmann at Bagnoli near Padua. Many of those sculptures were made in local stone. His genre subjects may have influenced F. A. Bustelli’s porcelain figures produced at Nymphenburg porcelain factory. He may have been influence by Orazio Marinali of Vicenza.
