Luthiers

LUTHIER

Bartolomeo Giuseppe Antonio Guarneri, of the Gesù (Cremona, August 21, 1698 - Cremona, 17 October 1744) was an Italian luthier, also known as Guarneri del Gesù for signing his instruments inside the soundboard with the words Nomina sacra, IHS (the monogram of Christ) and a Roman cross. Its instruments have a prestige and value comparable to those of Antonio Stradivari.

Little is known about his childhood, although it has been said that he worked with Stradivari despite his style is in contrast to that of that other teacher. Other sources claim that he was actually a disciple of Andrea Gisalberti. Contrary to what is thought, their violins are closer to the Brescia School than to Cremona. Giuseppe Guarneri was a strange man and subject to violent attacks of anger possibly provoked by his addiction to the drink.
