Inlaid marble floor
by FANZAGO, Cosimo, Marble
Although by training a sculptor and mainly active as an architect, Cosimo Fanzago’s most lasting achievement was probably in the field of semi-decorative art, such as his fountains and pulpits, his splendid bronze gates in San Martino and the Cappella del Tesoro, and his many polychrome altars, where he wedded flourishing sculptural ornament to inlaid marble work.
