Biography:
Alessandro Algardi’s work strongly emulated the style of his originally master in Bologna, Ludovico Carracci. He initially worked under the patronage of Duke Ferdinando Gonzaga in Mantua, creating ivory figures and ornaments for his palace. In 1625, Algardi settled in Rome, producing portrait busts that resembled ancient sculpture. He also was a talented draughtsman and architect, encouraged by artists such as Domenichino, Poussin, and da Cortona. At the age of forty, Algardi was commissioned to create the tomb of Pope Leo XI.
