Descripción
This tomb effigy represents a fully armoured knight. Several similar tombs still survive in Venice, Verona and Padua. The effigy would have been tilted up on the side closest to the wall, so that it was easier to see from below. The fact that the dead man is represented in full armour as a knight is an indicator of his social role - similar tomb effigies represent people known to have been military leaders or condottiere (mercenaries), like the tomb of Federico da Lavellongo in Padua. It is a rare survival of Venetian sculpture of this sort outside Venice. It is also a good indicator of knightly dress in this period, the armour being rendered quite faithfully.
The recumbent effigy lies on a draped bier. On the head is a bascinet with close-fitting eventail from which hangs a solid nasal. The figure is clad in a jupon, decorated with three chains on the breast, and wears arm-guards and hour-glass gauntlets. The head and feet rest on tasselled cushions.
