Matthias Albani II


Violin maker
(c. 1634 – 1712)

Matthias Albani had an important influence on the work of Tyrolean violin makers in the 17th and 18th centuries. His work, which is often confused with that of his father, Matthias Albani I, is generally on a Brothers Amati model, with an attractive orange varnish inclined to craquel.

The bulk of his production dates from 1690-1710 which suggests that his violin making sons Joseph and Michael may actually have been responsible for their elderly father's work. Numerous 18th-century German manufactured copies of Albani's work bear labels dating from the 1640s onward, and misattribution is common. Read Less
