Tomb of Cardinal de Braye in Orvieto (after 1282)
by ARNOLFO DI CAMBIO

Several signed works of Arnolfo from the 1290s survive, the earliest being the tomb of Cardinal Guillaume de Braye (d 1282) in San Domenico, Orvieto. The tomb was dismantled in 1680 and reassembled in 1934, but in an incomplete form; the architectural frame survives only in fragments (Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, Orvieto).

With the de Braye monument Arnolfo not only created one of the most important and lavish tombs of the Duecento but he also introduced a new type of wall tomb.
