Who was Raffaelle Monti?
Raffaele Monti was an Italian sculptor, author and poet born in Milan. He studied under his father, the noted sculptor Gaetano Matteo Monti. By way of Vienna and Milan, he came to London in 1848, and settled there.
He exhibited at the Royal Academy, and Monti soon earned recognition for his piece for the 6th Duke of Devonshire, the "Veiled Vestal." A bust based on this work, cast in Parian porcelain by Copeland, was issued in 1861 by the Crystal Palace Art Union.
Monti produced sculptures working in marble, but he also created in metals and porcelain, while he remained active in the applied arts.
