‘The latter half of the [18th] century [ce]* saw the emergence of a much lighter, more theatrical manner** in the works of Agostino Cornacchini and of Pietro Bracci, whose allegorical figure “Ocean” on the Fontana di Trevi by Niccolò Salvi (completed 1762[ce])*** is almost a parody of Bernini's sculpture. Filippo della Valle worked in a classicizing**** style of almost French sensibility, but the majority of Italian sculpture of the mid-18th century [ce]# became increasingly #* picturesque with a strong tendency towards technical virtuosity.’
