Detail Introduction
Born at Nancy .1647. Worked at Paris, 1680-1720. Erroneously stated to have been a pupil of Stradivarius. Far more likely that he studied with Amari; his Instruments having stronger claim to some points of similarity to those of the latter, rather than to of any of the former. Appointed instrument maker to Louis XIV, and made several emblazoned instruments which have since been mistaken for the work of Amati. Rather small model but does not overstep the assigned boundaries of Its prototype. Arching slightly prominent. but in harmony with the entire structure. Neat purfling, and pretty sound-holes, Well cut scroll but effeminate looking. Very choice transparent rose coloured varnish. ShopsDiscussion board forMedard,Francois (2) |
