# Tomb of Doge Pasquale Cicogna [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CAMPAGNA, Girolamo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary Tomb of Doge Pasquale Cicogna c. 1600 Marble Santa Maria Assunta dei Gesuiti, Venice Between 1600 and 1604 Campagna produced two tombs in Venice for the Doges Pasquale Cicogna and Marino Grimani. The first, now in Il Gesuiti \(Santa Maria Assunta\), consists of a triumphal arch with an applied Composite order framing the semi-recumbent marble figure of Cicogna on his sarcophagus in the central bay. The architecture recalls that of Scamozzi, but the chief novelty lay in the presentation of the Doge. Although Palladio had incorporated the semi-recumbent effigy into his designs for tombs in the middle of the 16th century, this composition was used rarely in Venice and the Veneto. Campagna's revival did not prove influential, possibly because this pose lacked the dignity appropriate for a ruler. This funerary monument with the recumbent figure of Doge Pasquale Cicogna \(1585-1595\) is placed at the door of the sacristy. ## Related artworks - [Angel of the Annunciation]() - [Funerary monument of Doge Pasquale Cicogna]() - [High Altar \(detail\)]() - [High Altar \(detail\)]() - [High Altar \(detail\)]() - [High Altar]() - [High Altar]() - [High Altar]() - [Main altar]() - [Main altar]() - [Man of Sorrows]() - [Monument to Doge Leonardo Loredan \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
