Description:
|
After the 15th century the funeral services of all of Venice's doges were held in San Zanipolo, and twenty-five doges are buried in the church. Tommaso Mocenigo (1343-1423) was doge of Venice from 1414 until his death. He served as an ambassador and was a victorious admiral before he became Doge. His marble tomb (ca. 1425) typifies an emerging Renaissance style in Venetian monumental sculpture and tomb architecture. Its unresolved amalgamation of Late Gothic and early Renaissance devices is augmented by a relief depicting Prudence and two figures representing Faith and Charity, almost certainly derived from Donatello.
