# Pavement decoration [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TRIBOLO, Niccolò]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary During his dozen years' service with Cosimo I, Tribolo undertook an extraordinary miscellany of tasks. These included decorations for state occasions, firework displays, theatrical costumes and décor as well as water conservation and other hydraulic projects. More specifically, he was also responsible for the design and supervision of the monumental tomb of Matteo Corte \(marble, 1544-48; Pisa, Campo Santo\), which was executed by Antonio Lorenzi \(d 1583\); the installation of Michelangelo's sculpture in the Medici Chapel at San Lorenzo \(1546\); the design and installation of the elaborate pavement in the Biblioteca Laurenziana at San Lorenzo; new gardens for the Medici villa at Poggio a Caiano, near Florence; and the continuing work at Castello. ## Related artworks - [Fountain of Hercules and Antaeus \(detail\)]() - [Fountain of Hercules and Antaeus \(detail\)]() - [Fountain of Hercules and Antaeus]() - [Fountain of Hercules and Antaeus]() - [Fountain of the Labyrinth]() - [Joseph Interpreting Pharoah's Dreams]() - [Marriage of the Virgin]() - [Pan]() - [Right lateral portal \(detail\)]() - [The Amphitheatre]() - [The Amphitheatre]() - [The Goddess of Nature]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
