Tomb of Gastone della Torre: Resurrection of Christ

1319
Marble
Museo dell'Opera di Santa Croce, Florence

In the reliefs on the tomb, a floor formed of clods of earth gives the illusion of an independent space in front of the figures. This move to an illusionistic rather than a physical representation of space was accompanied, however, by a slight flatness and loss of solidity in the figures.

The picture shows the scene of Resurrection of Christ in the centre of the relief.
