Under Venetian rule Vrana was named ''La Vrana'', from romance de Vrana, the surname used by Francesco Laurana.〔LA VRANA -> LAVRANA which is read like LAURANA because the letter U is written like letter V in the inscriptions in Latin.〕 After an apprenticeship under a sculptor, he began his solo career at Naples, where he was one of the team of sculptors finishing the triumphal arch of Castel Nuovo for Alfonso V of Aragon.〔Laurana was first documented in 1453, as Francesco Adzara (Francesco da Zara).〕 After the death of Alfonso (1458) he was called to Aix-en-Provence to the court of René d'Anjou, the former and still titular King of Naples, who commissioned him to do a series of bronze portrait medals of personages at the court. From 1466 to 1471 Laurana was in Sicily. Works of this period include the Mastrantonio Chapel and the tomb of Pietro Speciale in the church of S. Francesco in Palermo, the side door of the church of St. Marguerite in Sciacca, ''Madonna and Child'' sculptures in the cathedrals of Palermo (1471)〔Signed and dated.〕 and Noto, and a bust allegedly portraying Eleanor of Aragon, now in the Palazzo Abatellis in Palermo, Sicily. In 1471 he traveled to Naples where he executed the sculpture of the ''Virgin'' in the Sta. Barbara Chapel. In 1474-1477 Laura spent three years in Urbino, where his relative Luciano Laurana worked. He then went to Marseille, where he built a small chapel in the Cathedral of S. Marie Majeure (1475–81), the first structure in France designed entirely in the Renaissance style.〔Nikolaus Pevsner. ''An Outline of European Architecture'', 7th ed. 1963:289.〕 His workshop in Marseille created the St. Lazarus marble altar as well as the retable of the Calvary in St. Didier d'Avignon, and the tombs of Giovanni Cossa at Sainte-Marthe de Tarascon and Charles, comte du Maine, in Le Mans.〔Illustration.〕 Laurana died at Marseille or Avignon, in 1502. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francesco Laurana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
