Monument to Julie Clary Bonaparte

Works of charity adorn the urn relief; winged, scroll-supporting puttos support the base. Plaster models shape the marble monument in Santa Croce, Florence (1846). The scene of neoclassical inspiration depicts the front of an urn whose overall architectural composition draws from Renaissance prototypes. The tomb of Julie Clary Bonaparte (1877-1845), wife of Charles Joseph Napoleon, king of Naples and later of Spain, lies within the Bonaparte Chapel in Santa Croce, facing that of her daughter Charlotte, executed by Lorenzo Bartolini (1840).
