While this example has suffered old and obvious losses, it still conveys the overall composition and some of the subtlety of modeling of the marble. In addition, it retains sufficient portions of its fifteenth-century paint and gilding to suggest a colorfulness and richly decorated surface which the marble was never intended to have, and which connects this work with panel paintings of the time. The gilded wooden frame, not made for this relief, is Venetian and dates to about 1400–1450. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1970.44/1970.44_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1970.44/1970.44_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1970.44/1970.44_full.tif
