本資料庫收藏： Violin (1838)
Enrico Ceruti (1806-1883), the third generation of the Cerutis, was the son of Giuseppe. He was a relatively prolific maker than his father and was also a professional double bass player who once played in the local Philharmonic Society in Cremona. Enrico was more skillful than his father and comparable to his grandfather, Giovanni, in craftsmanship. His violins, though variable, are more delicate than those by his father. Full of personal style, his earlier works are obviously influenced by the Bergonzi family, especially in their square and broad outline, quite similar to Nicola Bergonzi. In 1870s, Enrico finally achieved the levels of the Bergonzis, with the appropriately proportioned scrolls so characteristic of Bergonzi style. Besides, some works are reminiscent of Guarneri del Gesù’s earlier patterns, showing his ingenuity in integrating the essence of his predecessors.
Enrico’s works are for the most part preserved up to date. Most of them are violins, along with some violas and cellos; some of his violins are praised by violin experts as masterpieces of the 19th century. In 1870, Enrico won a silver medal in London, followed by a diploma of honor in Vienna, which made him famous internationally and was often invited to have his violins shown at important exhibitions in Europe, including London, Florence, Paris, Venice, Vienna and Milan. Due to his highly appreciated works, he is regarded as one of the top five masters of the 19th century.
