Alessandro Vittoria

Alessandro Vittoria 1525 1608 was an Italian Mannerist sculptor of the Venetian school, one of the main representatives of the Venetian classical style and rivalling Giambologna as the foremost sculptors of the late 16th century in Italy, Vittoria was trained in the atelier of the architect-sculptor Jacopo Sansovino; he was a contemporary of Titian whose influence can be detected in his compositions. He was a virtuoso in terracotta, marble and bronze. Like all Italian sculptors of his generation, Vittoria was influenced also by Michelangelo and by the Florentine Mannerist, Bartolomeo Ammanati. The closeness of his associations in projects by architects Sansovino, Sanmicheli and Palladio, working with painters Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese placed him squarely among the protagonists of the Cinquecento art world in late 16th- century Venice.
