Marsuppini monument, Renaissance tomb in Basilica of Santa Croce, Italy
The white marble monument spans 601 centimeters in height and features intricate carvings of angels holding garlands above the gable.
Between 1454 and 1459, Desiderio da Settignano created this memorial for Carlo Marsuppini, the Chancellor of the Florentine Republic who died in 1453.
The monument design mirrors the tomb of Leonardo Bruni, incorporating Renaissance elements like the Virgin and Child relief within the lunette.
The monument stands in the sixth bay of the north aisle, allowing visitors to examine the detailed marble carvings and soft-looking angel wings.
Recent restorations revealed traces of original polychromy, including red paint on the flame above the arch and other colored elements.
