Description:
|
Carlo Marsuppini (1399-1453), also known as Carlo Aretino and Carolus Arretinus, was an Italian Renaissance humanist and chancellor of the Florentine Republic. Marsuppini was Leonardo Bruni's successor as Chancellor and his tomb was installed opposite as if in competition with Bruni's monument. Desiderio had probably assisted Rossellino on the Bruni monument. (Source: Web Gallery of Art; http://www.wga.hu/index.html)
