Years: 1474 - 1474
Benedetto da Maiano executes a notable portrait bust of Pietro Mellini, who has commissioned Benedetto's masterpiece, the marble reliefs for the pulpit of Santa Croce in Florence.
These narrative reliefs clearly indicate the influence of Desiderio da Settignano, Donatello, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Antonio Rossellino, and the classic sculpture of the Roman Empire.
