DE VITOR, Pietro Paolo Worked circa. 1738-1741 Brescia Italy. Of Venetian origin according to his label. Work rarely encountered, but of striking form and workmanship; an interesting mixture of early Brescian and later Rogeri styles. It is possible that he may have had some contact with Pietro Giacomo Rogeri. Full arch, in the Brescian manner, but evenly regulated. Long gracefully cut and well set soundholes; long outward pointing corners. The finely-carved scroll has very distinctively cut flutings, somewhat in the manner of Rogeri, in which the outer edge, although well-defined, is very slight, and the fluting increases in depth toward the central ridge which is sharply raised. Fine deep orange-brown varnish. Printed label: Petrus Paulus De Vitor / Venetus fecit Brixiae 1740
