Funerary Monuments in Renaissance

The Renaissance funerary monuments are characterized by the idea of \u200b\u200btriumph and exaltation of the individual under that converge with the idea of \u200b\u200bimmortality. This exaltation of the virtues and qualities of the deceased reached its maximum impact on the papal tombs.

Over time, we see in these graves are decreasing figures of a religious character, although we still see some symbols. We the individual self to save , and this will be the most representative.

We can discuss some of the graves, such as:

-TOMB OF CARDINAL OF PORTUGAL-ANTONIO Rosellino

This tomb is located in the interior of the church of San Miniato al Monte (Florence). We can put this tomb about the year 1461.

note that the tomb was found as an independent architecture, consisting of caissons and false hangings (these false curtains are the precedent for what will be the curtain in the Baroque period.)

a stay is sought through this historic funerary sculpture. It is important to say that NEVER misses the point Renaissance Christian world, but is encouraged human figure .

In this tomb still have the presence of a number of religious figures such as Madonna and child found in a medallion above the tomb. Angels seem to hold the medallion.

But in later examples we see how are you religious character figures decrease.

-TOMB OF Piero and Giovanni de Medici Andrea Verrocchio OF

This tomb was made by Andrea del Verrocchio, suggest that the action sought rather than representing the action itself.

This tomb is located in the church of San Lorenzo. We as religious figures have been removed, but the religious content goes to the decor. We have a number of vine leaves are elements that allude to the resurrection after death (found in the frame around the tomb).

Moreover, the lattice that appears behind the tomb alludes to the chains of the body, ie the submission of man to his own sin. To achieve immortality had to break this gate.
