MINO DI GIOVANNI (1431-1484)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 554 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MINO DI GIOVANNI (1431-1484) , called DA FIEsoLE, Italian sculptor, was born at Poppi in the Casentino. He had property at Fiesole.
Vasari
 's account of him is very inaccurate. Mino was a friend and fellow-worker with Desiderio da Settignano and Matteo Civitale, all three being about the same age. Mino's sculpture is remarkable for its finish and delicacy of details, as well as for its spirituality and strong devotional feeling. Of Mino's earlier works, the finest are in the duomo of Fiesole, the altarpiece and tomb of
Bishop
  Salutati, executed before 1466. In the Badia of Florence are an altarpiece and the tombs of Bernardo Giugni (1466) and the Margrave Hugo (1481), all sculptured in white marble, with life-sized recumbent effigies and attendant angels. The pulpit in Prato
Cathedral
 , in which he collaborated with Antonio Rossellino, finished in 1473, is very delicately sculptured with bas-reliefs of
great
  minuteness, but somewhat weakly designed. Soon after the completion of this
work
  Mino went to Rome, where he executed the tomb of
Pope
  Paul II. (now in the crypt of St Peter's), the tomb of Francesco Tornabuoni in S. Maria sopra Minerva, and a beautiful little marble tabernacle for the holy oils in S. Maria in Trastevere. There can be little doubt that he was also the sculptor of several monuments in S. Maria del Popolo, especially those of
Bishop
  Gomiel and Archbishop Rocca (1482), and the marble reredos given by
Pope
  Alexander VI. Some of Mino's portrait busts and profile bas-reliefs are preserved in the Bargello at Florence; they are full of life and expression, though without the extreme realism of Verrocchio and other sculptors of his time.

Winckelmann
  and D'Agincourt, Storia della scultura (1813) ; Hans

 , Architekien der Renaissance (Dresden, 188o); Wilhelm Bode, Die italienische Plastik (Berlin, 1893).
