ROSSELLINO, Bernardo
(b. 1409, Settignano, d. 1464, Firenze)

Tomb of Leonardo Bruni (detail)

1446-48
Marble
Santa Croce, Florence

In the lunette above the effigy, the Virgin and Child in a tondo intercede for Bruni's soul. Numerous assistants participated in the execution of the tomb, most obviously in the two angels in the lunette, which seem to have been carved by two different assistants.
