Violin "The Francesca", 1694
Antonio Stradivari (Italian, 1644–1737)
Cremona, Italy
Spruce and maple; L. 23 1/2 in. (59.7 cm), W. 8 in. (20.3 cm)
Bequest of Annie Bolton Matthews Bryant, 1933 (34.86.1)
During the 1690s, Stradivari was engaged in designing a "long-pattern" violin, such as this example, with a longer, thinner body, producing a darker timber than was usual in Cremonese violins. This violin has modern-style fittings.
