Mariano del Buono (1433-1504) was an Italian painter known for his illuminated manuscripts and religious book paintings commissioned by both Christian and Jewish communities in Florence. His detailed work features vibrant colors, charming details, and a unique blend of sacred and secular themes.
This illumination offers a glimpse of life and death among wealthy citizens of Florence. The funeral procession is a lavish affair, with the deceased resting on a bier covered with expensive silk and the mourners attired in brightly colored costumes.
