MORLAITER, Giovan Maria


MORLAITER, Giovan Maria

Artist

(b. 1699, Venezia, d. 1781, Venezia)

Details

Italian sculptor. His father, Gregorio, was a glassworker from the Alto Adige. Morlaiter's training as a sculptor may have taken place in Venice, and certainly his style has much in common with that of Venetian sculptors such as Filippo Parodi, Giuseppe Torretti and Francesco Cabianca; it also, however, has markedly Rococo characteristics that would have been more readily assimilated by an artist from outside the Venetian mainstream tradition. His best known works were executed for various Venetian churches. //
