Benedetto da Rovezzano

He was born in Pistoia in 1474, and adopted the name Rovezzano from the quarter of Florence in which he lived.

His most important works include: Pope Leo X sent twelve terra cotta medallions by Rovezzano to Cardinal Wolsey.

[1][2] Four bronze angels designed by Rovezzano for Wolsey's tomb have come to light and were acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum.

[3] Four large bronze candlesticks nearly 3 metres in height designed by Rovezzano were an addition to the tomb commissioned by King Henry VIII, and are now in the Saint Bavo's Cathedral, Ghent, having been acquired by the Bishop of Ghent Anthony Triest in the 17th century.
