Tomb of Doge Marino Grimani

Between 1600 and 1604 Campagna produced two tombs in Venice for the Doges Pasquale Cicogna and Marino Grimani. The first, now in Il Gesuiti (Santa Maria Assunta), consists of a triumphal arch with an applied Composite order framing the semi-recumbent marble figure of Cicogna on his sarcophagus in the central bay.

The Grimani monument is a double tomb for the Doge and Dogaressa, filling virtually the whole of one wall of their parish church of San Giuseppe (or Sant’Iseppo). Here the architecture serves merely as an imposing framework on to which marble statues, caryatids and reliefs are applied.
