Richard Aurili
Comment: See the talk page for some other names used by the artist.--- Possibly (talk) 02:11, 30 May 2021 (UTC)- Comment: There seem to be serious problems with notability here also. He's not in Treccani, not in the Grove Dictionary of Art or the Benefit Dictionary of Artists, and not mentioned at all in JSTOR or Google Scholar. Stuff like "110, rue de Cormeilles; 2, rue Aumont-Thiéville; 7, rue Daguerre; Villa Corot, 2 rue d'Arcueil" does not constitute an independent reliable source (it should be formatted as a note, with a citation to the actual source it is taken from).

Richard (Riccardo) Aurili (1864-1943) was an Italian - French sculptor.[1][2]·
Biography[edit]
He was born in Fitto di Cecina or in Bibbona.[3] From 1878 to 1883 he studied with Raffaello Romanelli at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze under Augusto Rivalta and Emilio Zocchi as teachers. In 1882 he won a silver medal[4] and in 1883 went to Paris to complete his training. He probably enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he was a pupil of Auguste Dumont and Jean-Léon Gérôme.[5] In 1889 Aurili remarried for the second time, to Elisa Charlotte van Humbeeck (1877-1956), daughter of a large Brussels family, and settled with her in Paris. They had four children: Aurelio Aurili (1890-1916) who was also a talented sculptor,[6] Natalia (1891-1973), Brunnetta (1892-1958) and Atala (1893-1987). They lived in Levallois-Perret.
Career[edit]
Beginning in 1890 he exhibited his work regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, in 1893, 1894, 1896, 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903.[7] as well as at other exhibitions such as the Salon d'Automne (1897) and the Exposition des Beaux-Arts de Charenton (1903). He also sold his models to Parisian art publishers (1899).[1] He participated in the World's Fair of 1904, Saint-Louis, Missouri and probably exhibited in parallel in Florence and kept close links with his region of origin. [8] Around 1904 he left France for Brussels, where he lived at 10 rue François Stroobant in Ixelles, and worked for the firm "A. Carli Frères'. with the moulder Gustave van Vaerenbergh.In that period he probably taught molding at a Brussels art school. In 1912 he left Belgium with all his family and returned to Tuscany, settling first in Florence, where he may have taught at the Accademia di Belle Arti, and then in Volterra. When Italy entered the war in May 1915, his son Aurelio joined the army. Riccardo took his daughters and wife to Nice, where he opened a shop called "Aux Arts Florentins", and he continued his profession as a sculptor-statuary. On March 30, 1916, his son Aurelio died on the Field of Honor during the conquest of Gorizia.[9] On May 5, 1919, Riccardo was elected "Honorary Academician" of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno of Florence[10] and remained in Nice until 1932. Around 1933 he moved to Villeneuve-Loubet, still working as a sculptor.[11] After 1935 he retired and moved to Antibes where he died in 1943.[12]
