Biographies
John Dilworth
GAGLIANO, Ferdinando Born 1724, Worked circa. 1770-1795 Naples Italy. Son of Nicola Gagliano, below, but probably trained by his uncle Gennaro, below. Work shows elements of both, but workmanship of a more restrained order, and varnish generally tending towards a thinner harder quality. Small tightly-wound scroll. Upper wing of treble ‘f’ carved downward in distinctive manner. Outline often marked by an awkward transition from the outward curve of the lower bouts into the concave lines of the corner. Some examples with decorative inlay. Additional label with religious dedication often found fixed to upper rib inner surface. Ferdinandus Gagliano Filius / Nicolai, Fecit Neap. 17.. Ferdinando Gagliano, me fecit / Neapoli, anno 17..
