Andrea Brustolon, born on July 20, 1662, in Belluno, grew up in Val di Zoldo. His early days in sculpture remain unclear, although it was long believed that his father, Giacomo, a tailor by trade, was his first teacher. Settling in Venice in 1677, he studied under the guidance of Filippo Parodi, likely followed by a stay in Rome to study Roman works and those of Bernini.

Returning to Venice, Brustolon specialized in crafting wooden furniture, becoming a favorite of patrons such as the Correr family, the Pisani family, and the Veniers. He created pieces for Ca' Rezzonico in Venice and for private collections in England. His gilded wood sculptures for churches, notably the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, attest to his talent.

Around 1720, he returned to Belluno to establish a workshop, influencing numerous local artists. His religious works, such as wooden altars, can be found in various religious centers in the province. Brustolon was buried in Belluno, but the exact location of his grave remains unknown.

His house, where he was born and died, stands as a memorial monument in Belluno, while his religious works still exist in towns like Feltre, Val di Zoldo, and other surrounding regions.
