Cappella Colleoni, Bergamo
-
Bartolomeo Colleoni was a condottiere , a redoubtable mercenary general who, as a reward for his services, received Bergamo as his own fiefdom. Never much of a one for understatement, Colleoni demolished a church sacristy to make his own tomb, hiring the sculptor Amadeo to decorate it with a complex allegory of Biblical and Classical reliefs plus a horse-mounted effigy of himself for the sepulchre inside.
