Girolamo Lucenti

Girolamo Lucenti (1627- [1692]]) was a sculptor of Baroque period, active in Rome. He initially trained with Algardi, but later also worked for Algardi's rival, Bernini. His unemotional angel at the Ponte Sant'Angelo is a reflection of an Algardian-restraint for an exuberant Bernini project. He also completed a tomb for Cardinal Girolamo Gastaldi (1685-6) in the choir of Santa Maria de' Miracoli, and a bronze statue of Philip IV under the portico of Santa Maria Maggiore.
