Alexander Emil Ludovico Calandrelli (9 May 1834, Berlin
- 26 May 1903, Berlin-Lankwitz) was a German sculptor of Italian descent.
(until 1855). He then worked for August Fischer until 1863. From 1864 he ran his own studio. Small works in wax, a skill he had learned from Fischer, formed his transition to larger sculptures - his first major works were models for a silver table-centrepiece.
In 1874 Calandrelli was made professor of sculpture, in 1883 a member of the Akademie der Künste and in 1887 a Senate-member of the Akademie der Künste. From the 1870s onwards he was the favourite artist of the Prussian imperial court. His works' moderate classicism makes him a late representative of the 'Rauch school'
within the 'Berlin School' of sculpture, whose influence declined hugely at the end of the 19th century. For still works with the accuracy required of great portraits, he was one of the best sculptors of his time.
His pupils included August Gaul
and Martin Götze. On his death he was buried in the state-owned Friedhof Wilmersdorf cemetery on Berliner Straße 81-103, but his grave seems to be lost. In Berlin-Lankwitz a street was named after him after the Second World War.
