AGOSTINO DI DUCCIO
(b. 1418, Firenze, d. 1481, Perugia)

Scenes from the Life of St Geminian

1442
Marble
Duomo di San Geminiano, Modena

Agostino's first certain work, commissioned by Ludovico Forni for Modena Cathedral, was an antependium that included four relief scenes from the Life of St Geminian (1442; dismembered, statue of St Geminian in Modena Cathedral sacristy, reliefs built into the cathedral's outer wall). The scenes are carved in high relief, the figures arranged in a stiff frieze formation.
