Both the drawing and the candelsticks have been attributed to Giuseppe Valadier and dated c. 1790 (Gonz\u00e1lez-Palacios 2018, p. 237, figs. 5_27, 5_28). Giuseppe may have used his father Luigi\u2019s graphic ideas to make the candlesticks.<\/p>\n Bibliography<\/em>: Leone 2019a, p. 84; Leone 2019b, p. 72.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5902,"template":"","tag-opera":[100],"tecnica":[],"class_list":["post-6923","opera","type-opera","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-opera-foglio-valadier"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/6923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/opera"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/6923\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7932,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/6923\/revisions\/7932"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tag-opera","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag-opera?post=6923"},{"taxonomy":"tecnica","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tecnica?post=6923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
