Details

Italian stuccoist, part of a family of artists, son of Giovanni Battista Carlone II. He learnt his trade in his father's workshop in Passau Cathedral. About 1695 he was in Rome, and in 1701 he worked at the Salesian church at Amberg and the Carmelite church at Straubing. By then he was already in charge of his father's firm, with Paolo Allio I (1655-1729) as his leading collaborator; they worked together until 1720. In 1702 the workshop provided stucco decorations for the pilgrimage church of Mariahilf, near Amberg, and in 1704-05 for the abbey church at St Florian, Upper Austria, and for the collegiate church in Salzburg. Carlone and Allio worked in the priory church at Rattenberg from 1706 to 1712 and at the religious foundation in Lambach from 1707 to 1709. In 1708 Carlone alone worked on the stucco decoration of the interior of Schloss Klesheim near Salzburg. The stucco in the sacristy of the parish church at Müll also suggests his hand. Later he worked in the Carmelite church in Linz and the Jesuit church at Passau. In 1718 he stuccoed rooms in the hunting lodge at Thyrnau and in 1719-20 he worked in the summer refectory of the monastery of Kremsmünster. In 1719 and again in 1725 he was active in the ducal residence at Ludwigsburg. The works of the first quarter of the 18th century are undoubtedly Carlone's best. //
