ROSSELLINO, Antonio
(b. 1427, Settignano, d. 1479, Firenze)

Tomb of Bishop Lorenzo Roverella

1475
Marble
San Giorgio fuori le Mura, Ferrara

In 1475 Antonio received payment for work on the tomb of Bishop Lorenzo Roverella in S Giorgio, Ferrara. Although the monument is signed by Ambrogio da Milano alone, the head of Roverella, carved separately from the effigy, the lunette decoration and the free-standing statuettes are the work of Antonio and his workshop. Antonio also intervened in the arrangement of the upper half of the monument.
