Place of origin |
This Istrian stone panel is from a balcony of the Palazzo Pola at Treviso. Most likely carved in the workshop of the sculptor Pietro Lombardo, which was active in Treviso from 1486, it is a rare survival from a domestic balcony. Part of the front façade of the palace, the splendid balcony would have been a gathering point for people within the building and a show of status to the outside world.
