The original plaster model for the marble monument in Palazzo dei Canonici in Piazza del Duomo, Florence, is a testament to the sculptor's remarkable skill in capturing the personality of his subject while designing the dome of the Cathedral. Critics of the time widely praised the artist's ability to convey a sense of grandeur and dignity in his work. The model itself was relatively small due to the limited space available in Pampaloni's studio, but it made a lasting impression on Thorwaldsen. This statue solidified Pampaloni's reputation as a master of monumental sculpture and marked a significant milestone in the 19th-century trend of honoring illustrious men with public tributes.
