# Tomb of Pietro Strozzi [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GIULIO ROMANO]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary This is an unusual monument made for Pietro Strozzi who died in 1529. The four caryatids usurp the traditional place of virtues and support a heavy entablature carrying a sarcophagus with the Strozzi crescent moons and the effigy of the deceased dressed in a toga and sandals. Each caryatid, similar except in pose, has a basket on her head, like the echinus of a capital. The front two are freestanding; those against the wall carved in relief. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Shepherds \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Ajax Defends Patroclus's Corps]() - [Ajax Defends Patroclus's Corps]() - [Allegory of the Virtues of Federico II Gonzaga]() - [Battle of Zama]() - [Ceiling decoration \(detail\)]() - [Ceiling decoration \(detail\)]() - [Ceiling decoration \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
