Andrea Guarneri was a violin maker active in Cremona, Italy. Multiple labeled instruments document his work spanning from at least 1655 to 1697 [1][2][4][6][8]. Early labels indicate he trained under Nicolaus Amati, described as 'alumnus Nicolaus Amati' on instruments from 1655 and 1682 [1][2]. A 1662 instrument notes work 'Sotto disciplina Andree Guarnerij' (under the discipline of Andrea Guarneri), suggesting he may have also trained other makers [3]. Guarneri's instruments were consistently labeled 'sub titulo Sanctae Teresiae' (under the title of Saint Teresa), a workshop designation that appears on all documented examples [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. His production encompassed multiple instrument types: the catalog documents violins (dating 1655, 1673, 1682, 1684, 1687, and circa 1695), a viola (1673), and a cello (1697), with back lengths ranging from 35 to 35.5 cm for violins, 41.3 cm for viola, and 74.3 cm for cello [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].
