Funerary Monument of Medea Colleoni

Trained on the building site of the Certosa di Pavia, where the stylistic innovations of the Renaissance were applied to give a livelier illusionistic effect or a different decorative structure to Gothic scenes and motifs, Amadeo translated the model of the Florentine tomb into a composite harmony of classical and geometric decorative schemes and naturalistic images, to bring out the moving portrait of Medea.
