Eraclito

The Italian sculptor Marinali was born in Angarano in 1643, his father who was a sculptor and carpenter probably passed him his passion for art. Orazio Marinali, started following his father's path in 1667 when he moved to Vicenza where he began his artistic studies. He then finished his studies in Rome and became a complete artist and sculptor just before 1675. This work representing the philosopher Eraclito, along with the other artist's sculptures, reveals a style and features incredibly close to the family Albanese's ones. During his studies, Marinali did his apprenticeship with Albanese's family and he was able to learn and assimilate the family's style in sculpting. After Albanese family disappeared from the art scene, Marinali and his brothers became some of the main representatives of the Italian art scene. Eraclito is a late-baroque sculpture which emblematically represents Marinali's style and it can currently be found in the Musei Civici agli Eremitani in Padua, Italy.意大利雕塑家奥拉齐奥·马里纳利（Orazio Marinali）于1643年出生于安加拉诺，其父身兼雕塑家与木匠，或将其对艺术的热忱传承给了他。1667年，奥拉齐奥·马里纳利迁居维琴察，自此追随父亲的足迹开启艺术研习生涯。随后他赴罗马完成学业，于1675年前后成长为成熟的全能艺术家与雕塑家。这件以哲学家埃拉科利托（Eraclito）为主题的作品，连同艺术家的其他雕塑创作，均展现出与阿尔巴内塞家族风格高度契合的艺术特质与面貌。求学期间，马里纳利曾在阿尔巴内塞家族门下修习学徒，得以系统学习并融会贯通该家族的雕塑创作风格。阿尔巴内塞家族淡出艺术舞台后，马里纳利与其兄弟一同成为意大利艺术界的核心代表人物之一。这件埃拉科利托雕塑属于晚期巴洛克风格作品，极具代表性地体现了马里纳利的艺术风格，目前收藏于意大利帕多瓦的隐士市民博物馆（Musei Civici agli Eremitani）中。
