# Monument of Pietro Mocenigo [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LOMBARDO, Pietro]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Istrian stone and marble ## Commentary The tomb backed against a wall became the norm for the ambitious monument in this period in Italy. Each region adapted the structure to suit artistic temperaments and fashions. Pietro Lombardo made skilful use of borrowings from past experiments. The great tombs he executed were composed in a dynamic and grandiose fashion. Three atlantes support the sarcophagus of the Doge Pietro Mocenigo, whose standing figure is framed in the centre of the arcade. Erected behind the façade of San Zanipolo \(i.e. Giovanni e Paolo\), this monument was a counterpart to the tomb of the Doge Andrea Vendramin, the work of Pietro Lombardo and his son Tullio, a veritable triumphal arch punctuated by columns. ## Related artworks - [Altar of San Giobbe]() - [Altar of the Badoer-Giustinian Chapel]() - [Doge Leonardo Loredano before the Virgin and Child]() - [Interior view of the dome \(detail\)]() - [Interior view of the dome]() - [Interior view]() - [Left wall of the Badoer-Giustinian Chapel]() - [Main door of the church \(detail\)]() - [Main door of the church]() - [Monument of Pietro Mocenigo \(detail\)]() - [Monument of Pietro Mocenigo \(detail\)]() - [Monument of Pietro Mocenigo \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
