Description:
|
|
Near the west wall is the tomb of Nicholas de Cusa, who was the titular cardinal of the church from 1449 until his death in 1464. The earliest example of Bregno’s Roman production, this is a fragment of a larger tomb destroyed during renovations in 1704-1707; one can see an affinity with the trend towards adopting medieval forms apparent in Roman sculpture of ca. 1460. The relief carving, embellished with gilding, depicts Cardinal Nicholas before St. Peter enthroned. The angel on the right is the one that released St. Peter from prison. Below is the cardinal's coat of arms showing a lobster; every cardinal is given a specific motto and escutcheon. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
