Statue of Cangrande della Scala, Medieval marble equestrian statue in Castelvecchio Museum, Verona, Italy
The marble statue depicts Cangrande I della Scala in tournament attire, measuring 200 centimeters tall and 206 centimeters wide with notable craftsmanship details.
Giovanni di Rigino created this statue in 1340 for the tomb at Santa Maria Antica church, where it remained until its transfer to Castelvecchio Museum in 1909.
The statue represents Cangrande I della Scala, the ruler of Verona who expanded the city's territory and provided refuge to the poet Dante Alighieri.
The statue stands in the main exhibition hall of Castelvecchio Museum, protected from weather conditions that previously caused deterioration at its original location.
Scientific analysis of Cangrande's remains in 2004 revealed traces of digitalis poison, indicating his death resulted from intentional poisoning rather than natural causes.
