Note: Lorenzo Bartolini (1777-1850) was born in Tuscany, received his initial training in the alabaster workshops of Florence and Volterra. His ambition to be a sculptor led him to Paris in 1798, where he studied at the École des Beaux Arts. He became a close friend of the painter Ingres and was part of the community of neoclassical artists centered around David's studio. In 1808 Bartolini was appointed director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara by Napoleon, which under his guidance, eclipsed its Florentine counterpart. At the same time, he carried out numerous Imperial commissions, including an 18-foot statue of the emperor Napoleon, and a number of busts portraying Empress Josephine, the King of Spain, Emperor Alexander I of Russian and the poet Byron. After the fall of Napoleon, the continued his career in Florence, where his patrons included Thomas Hope and the 6th Duke of Devonshire amongst other English connoisseurs.
Another single alabaster vase is attributed to Bartolini, formerly in the Duke of Northumberland's collection at Syon House, Middlesex, it shares many of the elements discussed above.
