In Tombs in Early Modern Rome (1400-1600), Jan L. de Jong reveals
how funerary monuments, far from simply marking a grave, offered an
image of the deceased that was carefully crafted to generate a
laudable memory and prompt meditative reflections on life, death,
and the hereafter. This leads to such questions as: which image of
themselves did cardinals create when they commissioned their own
tomb monuments? Why were most popes buried in a grandiose tomb
monument that they claimed they did not want? Which memory of their
mother did children create, and what do tombs for children tell
about mothers? Were certain couples buried together so as to
demonstrate their eternal love, expecting an afterlife in each
other's company?
