Description:
|
|
The monument was erected by the Republic of Venice in honor of the Roman condottiere Paolo Savelli, commander of Venetian troops who died of the plague in 1405 during the siege of Padua. He received a state funerary and burial in the Frari, in part because he had also given a substantial financial contribution for the construction of the vaults of the transept. The figures are all polychromed wood. The work was attributed to Sienese Jacopo Della Quercia (1367-1438) but seems to be more related to the work of a Tuscan sculptor of the first quarter of the fifteenth century operating in Venice. This is the first Venetian monument to include an equestrian statue. (Source: Basilica dei Frari, Venice [website]; https://www.basilica deifrari.it/)
