Tomb of Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci, Renaissance marble tomb in Sant'Angelo a Nilo, Italy
The tomb features two Corinthian columns supporting an arch with pilasters and displays sculptures of Madonna, Child, and saints Michael and John the Baptist.
Donatello and Michelozzo created this marble monument between 1426 and 1428 following the death of Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci on March 27, 1427.
The Assumption relief on the tomb demonstrates the stiacciato technique, where depth perception emerges through subtle variations in marble thickness.
The tomb measures 11.60 meters in height and 4.60 meters in width, occupying a significant portion of the church's interior space.
The artists established a workshop in Pisa specifically for this project, enabling easier transportation of marble components to Naples by sea.
