Biographies
John Dilworth
PLATNER, (Domenico) Michele Born 1684, died 1752 Rome Italy. Son, pupil, and successor of Alberto Platner, above. Inherited his father’s workshop in the Pigna district of the city, and also the appointment to the Palazzo Pamphilj. He was succeeded in turn by his pupil G. C. Gigli. Previously considered a pupil of D. Tecchler, there are similarities in the Tyrolean style of both makers. Platner is a little less refined, the workmanship stiffer and less expressive. Soundholes set widely; low and upright in very Germanic style. Scrolls neatly cut and concentric, with a deep narrow throat. Fine golden-brown or orange varnish. Cellos on small pattern rare but greatly appreciated. Lutes, pochettes, and viols extant. Michael Platner 1733 Michael Platner fecit / Romæ Anno 1747 [Lebet]
