麥可·安傑洛·佩爾戈萊西
亞當風格新古典裝飾大師
米開朗基羅·佩爾戈萊西是一位18世紀的義大利裝飾藝術家,主要在英國工作。 傳記細節幾乎完全缺失,但像奇普里亞尼一樣,他在羅伯特·亞當著名的歐洲大陸之旅後被帶到或吸引到英格蘭。他為亞當家族工作得非常廣泛,他的設計如此典型地體現了他們聲譽所依賴的許多方面,以至於不可能懷疑他對他們風格的影響。他的範圍,像他們一樣,是廣泛的。他設計家具、壁爐架、天花板、吊燈、門和壁畫裝飾同樣出色,作為低浮雕石膏作品的藝術家,他在當時無人能及。 他喜愛甕、獅身人面像與交織的獅鷲,喜愛手持弓箭與火炬的小愛神,喜愛樂器與兵器的戰利品裝飾,以及雖有時略顯纖弱卻始終優雅的繁花阿拉伯紋樣。他的牆面和天花板的中心嵌板常常由奇普里亞尼、安傑莉卡·考夫曼或其丈夫安東尼奧·祖基,有時也由他自己繪製古典與田園題材的作品。這些寧芙與小愛神神態悠然、笑意盈盈,兼具古典優雅,常被用作18世紀最後二十五年的緞木家具上的繪畫範本;這類家具以精緻優雅著稱,至今無出其右,而佩爾戈萊西在其流行過程中起到了重要作用;它們甚至被以細木鑲嵌工藝再現。 顯然,其中一些彩繪作品出自他本人之手;大多數歸於他名下的作品都是藝術品味與技藝精湛的傑出典範。他的黃檀木桌面、瓷器櫃和邊桌體現了一種極致的雅緻,儘管這種雅緻在某些地方或許僅僅流於俏麗。 佩爾戈萊西同樣設計了銀器,許多他的紋樣被現代複製品的製造者和購買者幾乎本能地歸因於亞當兄弟。此外,有理由相信他在純建築工作方面協助了亞當公司。晚年,佩爾戈萊西似乎像安吉麗卡·考夫曼一樣回到了義大利。 佩爾戈萊西撰寫了《七十版各種裝飾圖案設計》,於1777年至1801年間出版。
