Andrea Bregno was trained in Lombardy and then worked as a sculptor in Ferrara and Venice. Around 1464, following the election of the Venetian Pietro Barbo as Pope Paul II, Bregno moved to Rome where he worked mainly for the papal court. In 1477—1478, he collaborated with Mino da Fiesole (1429—1484) to produce a commemorative tomb for Cristoforo and Domenico della Rovere in the Della Rovere Chapel of the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome. The early Renaissance sculptural work is a full-length recumbent effigy, depicting Cardinal Cristoforo with his eyes shut and dressed in his bishop’s robes. In 1907, the Museum of Fine Arts did not order a full cast of the tomb but merely the detail, with the recumbent body of the deceased cardinal.
