Mino da Fiesole (English spelling)

Japanese: ミーノ･ダ･フィエゾレ（英語表記）Mino da Fiesole

1429‐84
Italian sculptor. Born in Poppi, he was active in Florence, Rome, and other areas. He is said to have been a pupil of Desiderio da Settignano of Florence, and his works have classical elegance and decorativeness. He was one of the earliest Renaissance artists to create bust-style portraits (Niccolò Strozzi, Piero de' Medici, etc.) influenced by ancient Roman sculpture, and he also produced many mausoleums that combined sculpture, which was popular at the time, with architectural motifs.

イタリアの彫刻家。ポッピPoppiに生まれ，フィレンツェ，ローマなどで活動。フィレンツェのデジデリオ･ダ･セッティニャーノの弟子といわれ，作品は古典的な優美さと装飾性をもつ。古代ローマ彫刻の影響による胸像形式の肖像(ニッコロ･ストロッツィ，ピエロ･デ･メディチら)をルネサンス期としては最も早く手がけ，また当時流行していた彫刻と建築的モティーフを組み合わせた廟墓を多く制作した。【鈴木杜幾子】
