Alessandro Algardi

.



















I'm always stunned and amazed when encountering work by Alessandro Algardi. How gutsy and bold and yet completely simple and serene. From the looks of it, he must just use a tool and write in the paint; creating a relief of sorts. Just can't find anything about him in English. It seems that any site with his work is always in Italian. And you can't Google him or do any other kind of other search because the results are always about the other famous Alessandro Algardi who was born in 1598.
