Donato Guarneri Line- Guarneri Ole Bull 1744 Violin 4/4 Size VN990G-1744O
Guarneri del Gesù “Ole Bull,” 1744
The 1744 Guarneri del Gesù “Ole Bull” is one of the final masterpieces created by Giuseppe Guarneri in Cremona, crafted during the last year of his life. Bold and unconventional in design, it features distinctive elongated f-holes and a powerful build, reflecting Guarneri’s daring late style.
This instrument became inseparably linked to the legendary Norwegian violinist Ole Bull (1810–1880), whose fiery performances and charismatic stage presence earned him the title of the “Norwegian Paganini.” Bull’s passionate playing brought out the violin’s deep, commanding tone and remarkable projection, cementing its place in history as one of the most dramatic and individualistic works of the Cremonese master.
Today, the “Ole Bull” stands as both a rare testament to Guarneri del Gesù’s genius and a symbol of Ole Bull’s enduring artistry — a violin of striking character, carrying with it the soul of one of music’s great virtuosos.
