Biography
Early life and work
Although called "Romanus," he probably came from Florence, as he is occasionally referred to as "Florentinus," and his brother is called John of Florence.Шаблон:Sfn The nickname was probably due to his long stay in Rome and receiving his education there.Шаблон:Sfn He arrived in Poland in 1517.[1]
Kraków (c. 1524 to 1537)
He was working first as a member of Bartolomeo Berrecci's group erecting the Sigismund Chapel in Kraków's Wawel Castle since 1524.[1] It's possible that he previously since 1519 worked together with Giovanni Cini of Siena on the construction of the canopy of the tomb of King Władysław Jagiełło.Шаблон:Sfn Cini and de Gianotis are also credited with the construction of the so-called Zator altar in the Chapel of Queen Sophia in the Wawel Cathedral.Шаблон:Sfn On commission from Duchess Anna of Mazovia he made the tombstone of the Mazovian Dukes brothers Stanisław and Janusz at St. John's Collegiate Church in Warsaw in the years 1526–28.Шаблон:Sfn
He left Berrecci's workshop in mid-1529, upon completion of the work on Sigismund Chapel, and remained in Poland, possibly taking up work on the tomb chapel of Bishop Piotr Tomicki at Wawel Castle.Шаблон:Sfn Later he worked together with Giovanni Cini and Filippo da Fiesole, with whom he established a workshop in Kraków.[1] In December 1531 he signed a contract with Bishop Andrzej Krzycki for the reconstruction of Płock Cathedral, which lasted in years 1532–1534.Шаблон:Sfn After its construction, it was the first church building of the Renaissance style.[2]
In 1534 the three partners erected a brickyard in Przegorzały near Kraków in 1534.Шаблон:Sfn On July 22, 1534, de Gianotis concluded an agreement with Bishop John of the Lithuanian Dukes in which he pledged to rebuild Vilnius Cathedral in years 1536–1540.Шаблон:Sfn The old cathedral was burned down in July 1530. At the beginning of 1535, the company undertook the reconstruction of the tenement house of canon Andrzej Zebrzydowski, later bishop of Kraków. Work continues until the middle of the year.Шаблон:Sfn On July 30, 1535, de Gianotis signed a contract with Rev. Maciej of Jeżów for the erection of two tombstones for chamberlain Stanisław Lasocki and "eius parentis" and a baptistery in the parish church in Brzeziny.[1]Шаблон:Sfn
At the same time, de Gianotis made a new tombstone commissioned by Queen Bona Sforza for Grand Duke Alexander Vytautas (died in 1430), which was to be placed in the new cathedral.Шаблон:Sfn Unfortunately, the tombstone has not survived to our time. It was probably in a similar style to de Gianotis' other works, most notably the tombstone of Albertas Goštautas.Шаблон:Sfn The tombstone was made in Kraków and arrived in Vilnius in 1535. It was probably not set up until 1573 by the Bishop Walerian Protasewicz.Шаблон:Sfn Bernardino de Gianotis is also credited with the tombstones of Krzysztof Szydłowiecki and his daughter Anna from the collegiate church in Opatów.Шаблон:Sfn He was also the probable author of the tombstone of Bishop Jan Konarski from the Wawel Cathedral from 1521, and the tombstone of Bishop Jan Lubrański from the Poznań Cathedral from the years 1522–25.Шаблон:Sfn
Vilnius (1537 to 1541)
It is likely that he has been residing permanently in Vilnius since 1537, and his interests in Kraków are represented by associates.Шаблон:Sfn At that time, de Gianotis is working on the construction of the royal palace in the lower castle in Vilnius. In 1540, Filippo da Fiesole died.Шаблон:Sfn The following year, Bernardino de Gianotis himself died, which led to the dissolution of the architecture and sculpture company.Шаблон:Sfn Bernardino left behind two minor children, Jan and Anna.Шаблон:Sfn
