ALBANI, Joseph (I) Born 1680, died 1722 Bolzano Italy. Son and assistant of Matthias (II). Much of his efforts were probably expended in his father’s workshop, but also worked with his brother Johann Michael in Graz, c.1708-1712. His own work dates from 1704, but is rare. Fine Amati-like model with rich, red-brown varnish. Josephus filius Matth. Albani / me fecit, Bulsani in Tyroli / Anno. 1719
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er nennt sich einen Sohn des Matthias A. Man kennt nur wenig von ihm, auch werden seine meisten Arbeiten jetzt wohl unter dem Namen seines Vaters gehen. Gleichlautende Zettel kommen 1703 und 1719 vor.
