Sepulchral bas-relief for the funeral monument to Thomas Wilson
Lorenzo Bartolini XIX sec. d.C.The bas-relief with four figures was executed for the tomb of the English colonel Thomas Wilson Patten, “preparatory for a monument that went to England”, as recorded in the studio's inventory drawn up after the sculptor's death. This work, like the Monument to Nicolai Demidoff, is clear evidence of how international customers were increasingly interested in Bartolini's decorative and ornamental statuary production.
