Corbel

Follower of Giuliano da Sangallo Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 500

Three major figures worked on the Palazzo Strozzi, the largest and most magnificent fifteenth-century palace in Florence. It was begun in 1489 by Benedetto da Maiano for Filippo Strozzi, who did not live to see it completed. A wood model (extant) was provided by Giuliano da Sangallo the Younger; Simone del Pollaiolo, called Il Cronaca (1457–1508), was in charge of construction until 1504. This capital comes from the courtyard of the palace.
