Design for the tomb of a Cardinal
Italian, about 1509
Pen and ink and wash
Sansovino was a Florentine sculptor, who
went to Rome in 155. Within four years he
had been commissioned by Pope Julius II to
design the tombs of two cardinals, Girolamo
Basso della Rovere, and Ascanio Sforza, in
S. Maria del Popolo, Rome. The arms of Pope
Julius II are show at the top of the tomb.
This drawing was once in the collection
formed in the early 18th century by John
and William Talman. Their mark, composed
of interlocking 'T's is in the cartouche at
the lower right of the design.
