Tomb of Ilaria del CarrettoJacopo della Quercia

This marble tomb (1406–08) commemorates Ilaria del Carretto, wife of the local ruler Paolo Guinigi. Her recumbent figure rests in calm repose, with flowing drapery emphasizing a poised, idealized body. A small dog at her feet signals conjugal fidelity. Along the sarcophagus, putti carry garlands, reflecting the renewed interest in classical ornament that marked the early Renaissance.
