Description
Venice. The Frari’s Basilica. Monument to the Doge Nicolò Tron (1471-1473).
On the left wall of the Presbitery, surrounded by a fresco which resemble a red drape, there is the grand sepulchral monument of Doge Nicolò Tron.
This impressive work was mastered by Antonio Rizzo of Verona between 1476 and 1480. Along with the tall base and the end lunette, it is made up of four orders and is finished at the sides with slender columns with niches joined at the top with an elegant round arch. In the middle of the first order there is the Doge wearing a golden mantle flanked by Faith on one side and Charity on the other. In the second order there is an epigraph with two children on either side who are holding a bunch of grapes and, at the ends, two well sculpted warriors, holding shields with Tron family insignia. In the third order there is the urn, adorned with medals and little statues, on which the Doge lies. On either side there is a statue, one singing and the other playing an instrument. In the fourth order there are seven women who represent the Virtues. In the lunette, in the middle, there is Christ Resurrected, the Annunciation on either side and on the top of the arch the Eternal Father.
