Arca di Mastino II
Via delle Arche Scaligere, 1, Verona, ItalyThe arch of Mastino II (died 1351) began in 1345 by the Veronese masters under the influence of Tuscan works. The equestian statue of the knight, armed with a lance and with the viser of his helmet lowered to hide his face, is by some attributed to the Maestro of Cangrande. The tomb is surrounded by an ornate railing with statues of the Virtues at the corners. Four scenes are carved into the sides of the urn: the Crucifixion, Jesus with John the Baptist and the Virgin, an angel holding a shield and St. George presenting God with a mastiff. On the cover of the urn is carved the prone form of the deceased, watched over by angels, while the underside of the cusp of the baldacchino is decorated with biblical scenes and images of saints.
