Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pilaster Console from the Rocca Roveresca di Mondolfo

1483-90
Probably by Francesco di Giorgio Martini (1439-1502) and workshop
Italy, Senigallia (Marche)
Istrian stone

This console and others like it, with acanthus leaves and other Renaissance decoration, came from a fort on the Adriatic coast. The fort was commissioned by Giovanni della Rovere, Lord of Senigallia and nephew of Pope Sixtus IV. A corbel rather than a capital, the object would have been set in to the wall at the point where the vault of the ceiling meets the wall providing an aesthetic termination rather than any significant architectural support.
