ARNOLFO DI CAMBIO AND WORKSHOP. TOMB OF LUCA SAVELLI, 1287-1295. S. MARIA IN ARACOELI The extraordinary masterpiece of marble (all certainly spolia) and mosaic atop a magnificent C3 sarcophagus is ascribed to the C13 sculptor Arnolfo di Cambio. The ancient sarcophagus is actually just a base for the late C13 tomb of the strongman of the Aventine, Luca Savelli (d. 1266), father of pope Honorius IV. Luca's body lies within the upper part behind the three identical Savelli crests in mosaic. Atop this marble coffin is a little ædicule with a niche at its centre, where Arnolfo set a small statue of the Virgin and Child that resembles the much larger version he made for the façade of Florence cathedral. The bones of various other Savelli family members lie here within the ancient sarcophagus. Originally this assemblage was housed inside a roofed trefoil Gothic arch. The base, portraying a wife and husband, is one of the best garland sarcophagi surviving in Rome.
#SpoliaSunday leads us back to that treasure-house of #spolia, #SantaMaria in #Aracoeli on the #Capitoline hill in #Rome, where a splendid C3 #sarcophagus is just part of the monumental assemblage of the tomb of several members of the #Savelli family. #AncientBluesky 🏺
