Tomb of Pope Hadrian VI (detail)

by TRIBOLO, Niccolò, Marble

Tribolo was famously unassertive and often adapted his art to suit established or collaborative projects. His plump and lissom putto (marble, c. 1524) on the lower right of Baldassare Peruzzi’s tomb of Hadrian VI indicates his exposure both to antique sculpture and to contemporary Roman work, especially that of Michelangelo’s maturity.
