Tomb of Count Hugo of Tuscany (detail)

by MINO DA FIESOLE, Marble

In 1480 Mino returned to Florence from Rome and resumed work on Count Hugo’s tomb (finished 1481); the elaborately carved, classicizing lunette decorated with palmettes and egg-and-dart moulding framing a tondo of the Virgin and Child, and the base, with its elegantly lettered inscription, probably date from this time.
