# Tombs of Antonio and Fabiano del Monte [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [AMMANATI, Bartolomeo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary Tombs of Antonio and Fabiano del Monte c. 1553 Marble San Pietro in Montorio, Rome In 1550 Giovan Maria del Monte was elected Pope as Julius III. He commissioned Vasari for a commemorative chapel in San Pietro in Montorio to house a pair of tombs, for the Pope's uncle, Cardinal Antonio Maria Ciocchi del Monte, and for Fabiano del Monte. Vasari designed the Cappella del Monte under the supervision of Michelangelo, the sculptor of the tombs was Ammanati. The arrangement, with allegorical statues \(Religion, Justice\) standing in the niches over each effigy, recumbent below, is closer to Ammanati's own earlier monument to Nari than to the design that had been supplied by Vasari. ## Related artworks - [Allegory of Winter]() - [Allegory of Winter]() - [Architectural and anatomical sketches]() - [Detail of the façade]() - [Detail of the façade]() - [Falcon]() - [Fontana di Sala Grande \(detail\)]() - [Fontana di Sala Grande \(detail\)]() - [Fontana di Sala Grande]() - [Fontana di Sala Grande]() - [Fountain of Juno \(lower figures\)]() - [Fountain of Juno \(upper figures\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
