The format, showing Bernardo’s strong profile, evoked Roman rulers and complemented the classical nature of the tomb. Giugni was a diplomat, a knight and an important public figure in Florence. The relief has all of the character of a life portrait.","physicalDescription":"Marble bust depicting Bernardo Giugni.The relief which has a flat back, shows an elderly man in profile facing to the left. He has a hooked nose, and the back of his head is covered with close-cropped curly hair. He wears a high-necked gown which is open at the front, and a cape or cloak terminating in a fringe over the shoulder. The portrait is cut off below the shoulder.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"da Fiesole, Mino","id":"A1967"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"marble","id":"AAT11443"}],"techniques":[{"text":"Carving","id":"AAT53149"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Carved marble","categories":[{"text":"Portraits","id":"THES48906"},{"text":"Sculpture","id":"THES48896"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"SCP","id":"THES48600"},"images":["2009CE2293","2018KY5195","2018KY5111","2018KY5107"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"64 (VA)","id":"THES49735"},"free":"","case":"WS","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Portrait","id":""}],[{"text":"Relief","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Florence","id":"x28848"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1464 - ca. 1468","earliest":"1459-01-01","latest":"1472-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Purchased with the assistance of the Murray Bequest and Art Fund","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"42","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"29","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"10.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Measured for the Medieval and Renaissance Galleries","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Purchased in Vienna (Herr Paul Fischer £2,750) with the assistance of the National Art Collections Fund.
