LOMBARDO, Pietro: Right wall of the Badoer-Giustinian Chapel

🖼 Right wall of the Badoer-Giustinian Chapel, 1500-30
Marble
Venice, Italy

Marble relief panels flow across the chapel wall, their classical figures carved in soft, luminous stone. Lombardo's sculptural innovation here exemplifies the Renaissance integration of ancient Roman dignity with Venetian wealth and spiritual patronage.
