Wiligelmo [Wiligelmus; Guglielmo da Modena; Gulielmo da Modena]
( fl c. 1099–c. 1120). Italian sculptor. He is considered to be the first great artistic personality in Italian sculpture, although he is known only from the epigraph on the façade of Modena Cathedral, which reads: ‘Your sculpture, Wiligelmo, now shows how much honour you are worthy of among sculptors’. The flanking figures of the prophets Enoch and Elijah are carved from the same block and have, therefore, been considered to be signed works, enabling other attributions to Wiligelmo to be made, both at Modena Cathedral and elsewhere in the immediate region.
