The Altar of Liberty to the left of the high altar of the Duomo of Lucca was dedicated in 1369 to celebrate the freedom regained by the city in that year. In 1577 it was decided that it should be replaced by an altar by Giambologna. Work on the altar was completed by 1579.
The figure sculpture on the altar comprises a central figure of Christ as the Redeemer, lateral figures of St Peter (left) and St Paulinus (right) and two angels (above). The Christ is an autograph work of high quality; the lateral figures, on the other hand, seem to have been executed mainly by Francavilla.
