Francesco Bertos was quickly gained recognition for his ability to create lifelike and expressive figures, and his work was sought after by wealthy patrons throughout Italy and beyond. Bertos is best known for his religious sculptures, often depicting scenes from the life of Christ or the saints. His style was characterised by a sense of drama and emotion, with figures depicted in dynamic poses and with expressive facial features. He was also adept at creating intricate details, such as the folds of clothing or the texture of hair. One of Bertos' most famous works is the statue of St John of Nepomuk in the church of San Giovanni in Oleo in Venice. The statue, which depicts the saint holding a crucifix and standing on a bridge, is a masterpiece of Baroque sculpture and is considered one of Bertos' finest works. Bertos died in Venice in 1741, leaving behind a legacy of beautiful and expressive sculptures that continue to inspire and captivate viewers today.
