Monument of Bishop Antonio d'Orso (spandrel reliefs)

The poet Francesco da Barberino, executor of the Bishop’s will, had an influence on the design and programme of the tomb, the themes of which were death and both personal and universal judgement. The reliefs in the spandrels of the supports represent the Triumph of Death, and the sarcophagus relief depicts personal judgement, which takes place at the moment of death.
