The Martinengo mausoleum is a funerary monument made through the use of various marbles and bronze (465x360x126 cm) by Gasparo Cairano, Bernardino delle Croci and probably the Sanmicheli workshop, dated between 1503 and 1518 and preserved in the museum of Santa Giulia in Brescia, in the nuns' choir.
The monument, of undisputed artistic and historical value, is one of the most emblematic artifacts attributable to the current of Brescian Renaissance sculpture: the work focuses on architectural and artistic purity, refinement of colors through the use of ancient marbles, many of them probably salvaged, and mythological iconography, the aim of which is the utmost celebration of the deceased for whom the mausoleum is intended.
