Giuseppe Maria Bonzanigo (1745-1820)
From 1787 onwards, Bonzanigo worked at the Royal court of Savoy. The work that has been attributed to him is considered to be the pinnacle of Italian Neoclassicism. His work is characterized by the distance he took from the traditional Franco-Piedmont tradition of furniture making. Born in Piedmont he moved to Turin in 1773 to work as sculptor, woodcarver and cabinet maker. He soon received the favour and protection of the royal family. He worked from Turin until the French invasion of 1796.
After the defeat of Napoléon in 1815, when the house of Savoy returned to power, he was again appointed cabinet maker of the court. Although his work shows an undeniable French influence, there is no proof of Bonzanigo ever visiting Paris.
