Resumen de Precisazioni e aggiunte al "corpus" di opere di Giovan Battista Amendola
The recent finding of three works by Giovan Battista Amendola in private houses (two of them deemed lost and previously unknown the other), made it possible to clarify a few ambiguous aspects of the sculptor's production, still unclear today. It has been possible, in particular, to date "The cold wanderer" exactly thanks to the finding of a bronze dated and signed and to confirm that the sculpture "The head and lyre of Orpheus on th waves" that he gave to his friend and painter Lawrence Alma Tadema was not in bronze but in silver as reported in a bibliographical source. Finally Amendola's corpus has been enhanced by a wonderful, previously unknown portrait of a man that I identified as the portrait of Nicola Amore.
