John Dilworth+

FARINATO, Paolo Worked circa. 1685-1725 Venice Italy. Individual model, with some Tyrolean influence; school of Serafin. Medium high arching. Fine materials and richly textured orange varnish characteristic of Venetian work. Paolo Farinato / fecit Venetiis 1700

Cecie Stainer+

Worked in Venice about 1700-30. His instruments are not without merit, the pattern is elegant, of the school of Santo Serafino, and the varnish a yellow-red colour.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Seine Geigen haben manche Ähnlichkeit mit denen Serafino Santo’s. Er
verwendet ein hübsches Modell und einen gelblich-röthlichen Lack. Besonders
gut sind seine Violen, in deren Umrissen er manchmal recht originell ist.
