CATTANEO, Danese
(b. ca. 1509, Colonnata, Carrara, d. 1572, Padova)

Fregoso Altar (detail)

1565
Marble
Sant'Anastasia, Verona

The central section forms an altar with a statue of Christ the Redeemer, which is one of Cattaneo's greatest achievements: graceful in gesture and delicately poised, it echoes the lyrical quality of the sculpture Sansovino produced in Rome.
