# Monument to Bartolomeo Aragazzi: Faith [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MICHELOZZO DI BARTOLOMEO]() - Date: 1401-1450 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary Throughout the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance a major field for sculpture in Italy was the funerary monument, from simple floor slabs to splendid constructions displaying the effigy of the deceased in a magnificent niche-like setting. Donatello and Michelozzo together made such a <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/d/donatell/1\_early/antipope/1john\_23.html'\)" href="/html/d/donatell/1\_early/antipope/1john\_23.html">tomb for Cardinal Baldassare Cossa</a> in the Baptistery in Florence, and Michelozzo made one, now dismembered, for the Aragazzi family in the Tuscan hill town of Montepulciano. The surviving fragments of the dismembered Aragazzi monument at Montepulciano are almost exclusively the work of Michelozzo. The picture shows the figure of Faith from the Aragazzi tomb. The vigour of Michelozzo's style and its strong classicism, place him in the second Renaissance style, but closer to Luca della Robbia than to Donatello. ## Related artworks - [Corridor of the North Dormitory]() - [Courtyard]() - [Courtyard]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Funeral Monument of Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument of Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument of Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci]() - [Funeral Monument to the Anti-pope John XXIII \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument to the Anti-pope John XXIII \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument to the Anti-pope John XXIII \(detail\)]() - [Funeral Monument to the Anti-pope John XXIII \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
