Ghiglieri (American, b. 1931) Born in America in 1931 to European immigrants, Lorenzo Ghiglieri studied the Old Masters, deriving influence from Rembrandt, Velasquez and Corot. After serving in the Korean War, he was commissioned as a combat illustrator for the United States government to paint a marine scene that became a gift to Great Britain to honor Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. His work is held in collections world-wide and his sculptures and paintings have been presented to Pope John Paul II at The Vatican, President Ronald Reagan at the White House, Mikhail Gorbachev of the Kremlin and King Juan Carlos of the Royal Palace in Madrid. In 1994, Lorenzo sculpted the "Official American Bald Eagle", now on display at the White House and part of their permanent collection.
