Tombs in Naples (1324-33)
by TINO DI CAMAINO

Tino di Camaino probably went to Naples towards the end of 1323 or early in 1324, although he is not documented there until May 1325. This change of residence had profound consequences for him, as can be seen in his earliest works there: the tombs of Catherine of Austria in San Lorenzo Maggiore and Mary of Hungary in Santa Maria Donnaregina, both of whom had died in the spring of 1323.

Simpler versions of the tomb of Mary of Hungary are to be seen in the monuments for Charles, Duke of Calabria (d 1328) and his second wife Mary of Valois (d 1331) in Santa Chiara. In the artistic environment of Naples, Tino di Camaino adopted the highly prized, polychrome decorative style of Roman Cosmati work and attempted to combine it with his own, Tuscan style.
