The funeral monument to Ilaria del Carretto is a sculptural work by Jacopo della Quercia...
Ilaria del Carretto was the wife of Paolo Guinigi, lord of Lucca in the early decades of the fifteenth century, and died when she was just twenty-seven in 1405. To commemorate her, her husband commissioned an effigy to the greatest sculptor of the time. The work is one of the most significant sculptures of the Italian Renaissance.
