Description

ERCOLE FERRATA ST ANDREW THE APOSTLE, FIRST HALF OF THE 17TH CENTURY Terracotta height 48 cm height 18 7/8 in

When a headless torso had been discovered a few years previously, during the opening of a new road to the Santa Maria in Vallicella, the order of the Oratorians who owned the torso sent it to be restored by Ercole Ferrata, who essentially created the Faun Carrying a Kid, which after purchase by Queen Christina, was sold in 1724 to Philip V of Spain.[6] Ferrata is less known for the documented fact that he provided the elegant arms for the Venus de' Medici.[7] He showed remarkable flair in making just the kind of attractive additions to a mutilated statue which most appealed to connoisseurs, according to Francis Haskell and Nicholas Penny.[8]

He worked along with Bernini creating a much admired fountain for the gardens palace of the Count of Ericeira in Lisbon - unfortunately lost along with the palace, great library and art collection due to the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755.[9]

Of the generation after Bernini and Algardi, which included Domenico Guidi and Antonio Raggi, Ferrata led the most successful studio for training sculptors. Ferrata's pupils included the Florentine Foggini as well as Caffà, who acted as Ercole's studio assistant. In addition he trained Leonardo Retti, Francesco Aprile, Michele Maglia, Filippo Carcani, Giuseppe Mazzuoli, Lorenzo Ottoni, and Giuseppe Rusnati.[10] Among his last pupils was Camillo Rusconi, who moved to Rome in 1686 to work briefly in Ferrata's studio.

Ercole Ferrata died at Rome in 1686.
