Additional Information

Notes historical bibliographic

The artist's mannequin, made of wax or wood, was one of the main "work tools" in common use in European pictorial and sculptural practice since the 16th century, allowing a precise anatomical and volumetric study of the bodies inside the ateliers, thanks to the possibility of obtaining poses characterized by an absolute static nature, according to the taste and needs of the artist. Our female mannequin bust, chronologically framed thanks to the two dates on the back, probably bears the name of the client, a certain Luigi Enrico Banzolini (Lovere, 1817-1874), notary, Italian patriot and husband of Carlotta Martinolli, favorite nephew by Francesco Hayez, known during her stay in Venice. Strong evidence of the link between Francesco Hayez and his niece Carlotta with her husband Luigi Enrico Banzolini are both the dense correspondence and a series of three works donated by the famous artist to the couple. The bond between the spouses and the Hayez family is also confirmed by the portrait that Vincenzo Hayez (Venice, 1835 - 1880), son of Giuseppe, brother of the famous painter, created for Banzolini himself and is currently kept in the art gallery of the Tadini Academy in Lovere . In fact, Vincenzo is often in Lovere, a guest of his cousin Carlotta Martinolli and her husband, who try hard to support his "unfortunate" artistic career, negatively influenced by a reckless lifestyle. It is therefore plausible to hypothesize that this mannequin bust could represent one of the first aids by Luigi Enrico Banzolini, as a patron, towards a young Vincenzo. Finally, nothing excludes a second hypothesis, namely that the aforementioned "Luigi Banzolini" may actually be a homonymous and less known wood craftsman.
