Giuliano da Sangallo is known primarily as an architect; those sculptural programmes associated with him are usually allied with architecture and his sculptural activities remain obscure. One more securely attributed work is the Tomb of Francesco Sassetti, a learned manager of the Medici bank, which with its pendant for his wife Nera Corsi Sassetti is in the family chapel in Santa Trinita.
The picture shows a decorative relief in pietra serena.
