Modeled after one of Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri's later masterpieces, this violin demonstrates del Gesù's movement away from the delicate Amati-like detailing found in his earlier instruments. Its austere detailing and broader outline indicate Guarneri's evolution towards the minimalist approach of his later works. This unrefined style suggests that del Gesù knew precisely how to manipulate materials while crafting his instruments so that he would not be held back by the details which did not directly influence creating an impeccable sound.
