Michele da Firenze is credited with the terracotta tomb of Francesco Roselli (c. 1430; Arezzo, San Francesco, Arezzo), but by 1433-35 he had left Tuscany for the Veneto, where he has been identified with the sculptor of the Pellegrini Chapel in Sant'Anastasia, Verona. This is Michele's first independently documented work and is considered to be his masterpiece.
In place of the customarily frescoed narrative scenes, Michele encased the chapel walls with an impressive terracotta revetment, originally polychromed, consisting of 24 individual panels depicting the Life, Passion and Death of Christ.
