Everything about Alessandro Leopardo totally explained
Alessandro Leopardo or
Leopardi? (d. ca. 1512),
Italian sculptor, was born and died at
Venice. His first known work is the imposing
mausoleum of the
doge Andrea Vendramin, now in the
church of San Giovanni e Paolo; in this he'd the cooperation of
Tullio Lombardo, but the finest parts are Leopardo's. Some of the figures have been taken away, and two in the
Berlin museum are considered to be certainly his work.
He was exiled on a charge of fraud in 1487, and recalled in 1490 by the senate to finish
Verrocchio's colossal statue of
Bartolomeo Colleoni. He worked between 1503 and 1505 on the tomb of
Cardinal Zeno at
St. Mark's, which was finished in 1515 by
Pietro Lombardo and in 1505 he designed and cast the
bronze sockets for the three flagstaffs in the square of St. Mark's, the antique character of the decorations suggesting some
Greek model.
