The quiet dignity of the recumbent figure is no less masterly than the group above it. We shall see many tombs in Florence few not beautiful but none more joyously accomplished than this. The tomb of Carlo Marsuppini in S. Croce by Desiderio da Settignano, which awaits us, was undoubtedly the parent of the Ugo, Mino following his master very closely; but his charm was his own.
