乔瓦尼·巴蒂斯塔·福吉尼
以小型青铜雕塑闻名
乔瓦尼·巴蒂斯塔(詹巴蒂斯塔)·福吉尼是一位活跃于佛罗伦萨的意大利雕塑家,主要以小型青铜雕像闻名。 福吉尼出生于佛罗伦萨,年轻时被托斯卡纳美第奇大公送往罗马,加入所谓的佛罗伦萨学院,并在阿尔加迪的弟子埃尔科莱·费拉塔的罗马雕塑工作室当学徒。他还师从该学院首任院长(1673–86年)奇罗·费里学习素描,而费里是科尔托纳的学生。1676年回到佛罗伦萨后,他成为科西莫三世的宫廷雕塑家。 1686年,彼得罗·塔卡之子费尔南多去世后,当地首席雕塑家的地位便由福吉尼继承。福吉尼后来成为美第奇家族的“首席建筑师与最尊贵府邸首席雕塑家”,并担任工程总监(1687–1725)。1687年,福吉尼购得了位于博尔戈·平蒂的铸造厂,该厂曾属于雕塑家詹博洛尼亚。这使他得以专注于小型青铜器的制作,这些作品主要用于出口且利润丰厚。他对彼得罗·塔卡所作摩尔人雕像的改编版本,成为了面向鉴赏家市场的青铜及陶瓷复制品的基础,这一热潮一直延续至18世纪。 在佛罗伦萨,他的杰作是卡尔米内圣母教堂科尔西尼礼拜堂中的雕塑浮雕作品。该礼拜堂由巴尔托洛梅奥和红衣主教内里·科尔西尼为纪念其新近被封圣的家族先祖圣安德烈亚·科尔西尼而建。礼拜堂内有三幅描绘其生平的大型大理石浮雕:《荣耀中的圣安德烈亚》、《圣安德烈亚·科尔西尼的弥撒》和《安吉亚里战役》(1685–87年)。他还在圣母领报大殿的费罗尼礼拜堂完成了作品。另一件作品是佛罗伦萨美第奇-里卡迪宫的主楼梯。 他的小型青铜作品中包括《手持歌利亚头颅的大卫》。 福吉尼的学生包括费尔南多·富加、他的侄子菲利波·德拉瓦莱、巴尔塔萨·佩尔莫泽、乔瓦基诺·福尔蒂尼和乔瓦尼·巴拉塔。马西米利亚诺·索尔达尼·本齐与福吉尼同在罗马求学,同时也活跃于小型青铜雕塑领域。
