Funeral monument to Giovanni Battista Trecchi

After the completion of the Visconti tomb and the death of Beatrice d’Este, Gian Cristoforo left Milan for the court of Isabella d’Este in Mantua, arriving in September 1497. Several Mantuan works, including a marble doorframe for Isabella (between her second studiolo and her grotta) and a terracotta bust of her husband Francesco II, 4th Marchese of Mantua Gonzaga (c. 1498; Palazzo Ducale, Mantua), have been attributed to him. Also from this period is the tomb of Pier Francesco Trecchi, which was designed for San Vincenzo, Cremona.
