LEOPARDO, ALESSANDRO (d. c. 1512)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 458 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LEOPARDO, ALESSANDRO (d. c. 1512) , Italian sculptor, was born and died at Venice. His first known
work
  is the imposing
mausoleum
  of the doge
Andrea
  Vendramini, now in the
church
  of San Giovanni e
Paolo
 ; in this he had the co-operation 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 Bartolommeo 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. (See VENICE.)
