LOMBARDO, Antonio
(b. ca. 1458, d. 1516, Ferrara)

Monument to Bishop Jacopo Pesaro

before 1524
Marble
Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice

The monument was executed by the the Lombardo brothers, Antonio and Tullio. The bishop had it built during his lifetime, his heirs added only the date (1524). The inscription is a brief meditation: the bishop succeeded not only in conquering his enemies, but also in conquering himself, which is more difficult!
