AMMANATI, Bartolomeo
(b. 1511, Settignano, d. 1592, Firenze)

Tomb of Giovanni Buoncompagni (detail)

1574
Marble
Camposanto, Pisa

The picture shows the figure of Christ.

Ammanati's decision to cover Christ's body with a voluminous drapery moves his sculpture away from the emphasis on the nude typified by Michelangelo's Risen Christ.
