Abstract
This article is a study of a group of bronze reliefs that Jacopo Sansovino made as part of his remodeling of the choir of S. Marco in Venice. The reliefs of the two tribunes were specifically designed to exploit the dramatic possibilities of their position above eye level. Those of the Sacristy door display an unprecedented freedom of modeling in order to suggest “painterly” effects of light and atmosphere. In both cases, there are close relationships with Titian's painting and this suggests a mutual interest in the paragone, the rhetorical debate on the relative merits of painting and sculpture.
