CIVITALE, Matteo
(b. 1436, Lucca, d. 1501, Lucca)

Altar tomb of St Regulus (detail)

1484
Marble, life-size
Cathedral of San Martino, Lucca

The tomb includes some of Civitali's most ambitious carving, for example three life-size marble figures of saints and a delicately carved frieze that recalls the relief styles of Desiderio da Settignano and Jacopo della Quercia.
