GORO DI GREGORIO
(active 1300-1334 in Siena)

Tomb of St Cerbone

1324
Marble
Duomo, Massa Marittima

The sides of the sarcophagus are covered with reliefs representing scenes from the life of the saint. These scenes are characterized by an almost naive attempt to carve the figures in the round, and to endow the buildings in the piled-up settings, otherwise almost devoid of any depth, with a straightforward, three-dimensional actuality.
