Monument to Doge Leonardo Loredan

by CAMPAGNA, Girolamo, Marble

The monument to the doge Leonardo Loredan (died 1521) was erected towards 1572. The design is by Girolamo Grapiglia; the statue of the doge by Girolamo Campagna; the allegorical statues of Venice (to the left), the League of Cambrai (to the right), the Abundance and the Peace (between the columns) and the low-reliefs are by Danese Cattaneo, a disciple of Sansovino.

The seated marble statue of Doge Leonardo Loredan (completed c. 1605) was very influential. The design for the figure was probably conceived by Cattaneo before his death, but Campagna executed it, introducing a new iconographic type into Venetian funerary monuments.
