Bartolomeo Spani

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief depicting a group of figures in a horizontal panel, each carved in a linear procession. The subject involves multiple individuals, some in robes and others wearing what appears to be military attire. The sculpture is made of a dark material, likely bronze, with an aged patina. Among the figures, some are standing in profile with arms extended or interacting with others in the scene. The relief is rectangular and bordered by a simple frame, enhancing the central composition and drawing attention to the textured figures and intricately carved details that populate the scene.
