Abstract
Alessandro Algardi's Tomb of Leo XI in the Vatican (Fig. 1) is a work of subtle beauty that has received relatively little critical attention.1 It has suffered from being considered primarily in comparison with Bernini's Tomb of Urban VIII. Far from a more classical restatement of Bernini's formula, however, Algardi's tomb is a specifically Medicean monument that follows a different iconographic and stylistic tradition.
