Tullio Lombardo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a relief sculpture titled "Tabernacle Relief with Flanking Angels" by Tullio Lombardo. The relief features a central archway with a flat top, flanked by two angels on either side. The angels are carved in gold with large wings, wearing long robes, and have their hands crossed over their chests. The archway's top section has a Latin inscription, "LOCHVS SACIVS". The sides of the archway have black panels adorned with white designs, including various objects and patterns. The relief has a weathered appearance with a greenish-gray patina and visible signs of aging. The background of the image is a solid gray color. The relief has a rectangular shape with a cutout in the middle, resembling an archway. The overall design and details suggest an ornate and intricate piece of art. The angels appear to be positioned on either side of the archway, creating a sense of symmetry. The use of gold, black, and white colors adds to the relief's visual appeal.
