dc.description.abstract | This study aims to trace the history of the monument representing Grand Master Anton Manuel de Vilhena - currently situated in Floriana, and the historical context in which it was created. The model of the Vilhena monument is attributed to Pietro Paolo Troisi and the bronze figure was cast by Aloisio Bouchut. A visual analysis of the monument outlying the sources that determined its final appearance will be carried out. Through a study of the personages involved in the creation of the said monument the study aims to add to the discussion regarding some main factors pertaining to the monument mainly: I. The identity of the artist who modelled the figure of Vilhena, subsequently cast in bronze. II. The motivations of the person who commissioned the monument. III. His influence on the final appearance of the monument. IV. The Grand Master's reaction to it. Issues such as the technical details of bronze casting, changes in location of the monument, and restoration interventions are also illustrated. The research in based on research in archival sources and wide reading in secondary sources. | en_GB |
