# Monument to Bartolomeo Aragazzi: An Adoring Angel [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MICHELOZZO DI BARTOLOMEO]() - Date: 1401-1450 - Technique: Marble, height 96 cm ## Commentary This and the companion figure, formed part of the monument of Bartolomeo Aragazzi \(c. 1385-1429\), poet, humanist and secretary to Pope Martin V, in the Pieve at Montepulciano. When the church was demolished in 1617, the monument was disassembled and never reconstructed. The other portions which have survived are now preserved in the Cathedral at Montepulciano. The monument was commissioned by Aragazzi from the joint studio of Donatello and Michelozzo in or shortly before 1427 and was completed in 1437. All of the surviving sculptures from the tomb are by Michelozzo. The two Angels may have been set above the effigy of Aragazzi, flanking a statue variously identified as the Risen Christ and St Bartholomew, or beside a Virgin and Child in the lunette. Insufficient evidence survives to allow an accurate reconstruction of the tomb design. ## Related artworks - [Corridor of the North Dormitory]() - [Courtyard]() - [Courtyard]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Funeral Monument of Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument of Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument of Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci]() - [Funeral Monument to the Anti-pope John XXIII \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument to the Anti-pope John XXIII \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument to the Anti-pope John XXIII \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument to the Anti-pope John XXIII \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
