The Tomb of Leonardo Bruni, also known as the Monument to Leonardo Bruni, is a sculptural work by the Italian Renaissance artist Bernardo Rossellino. Created in the mid-15th century, it is located in the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. This funerary monument is dedicated to Leonardo Bruni Aretino, an Italian humanist, historian, and chancellor of Florence, who was one of the most important figures in the early Italian Renaissance.

Bernardo Rossellino, a prominent architect and sculptor, designed the tomb in the new Renaissance style, which was characterized by its harmony, balance, and use of classical elements. The monument marks a significant departure from the Gothic style that dominated the preceding centuries and is considered a masterpiece of early Renaissance sculpture.

The tomb features a wall-mounted structure with an arch framing the effigy of Bruni, who is depicted lying on a bier with a book in hand, symbolizing his intellectual contributions. The use of perspective and architectural elements, such as pilasters and a coffered arch, demonstrates the influence of classical Roman architecture and the contemporary work of Leon Battista Alberti, with whom Rossellino collaborated.

The monument is not only a tribute to Bruni's life and work but also a reflection of the humanist ideals of the period, emphasizing the dignity of man and the value of intellectual achievements. The Tomb of Leonardo Bruni is often cited as a pivotal work in the development of Renaissance funerary monuments, influencing the design of subsequent tombs in Italy and beyond.

As a significant cultural artifact, the Tomb of Leonardo Bruni has been the subject of art historical scholarship and is recognized for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the evolution of Renaissance art and architecture. It remains an enduring example of the integration of sculpture, architecture, and humanist thought in the period's artistic expressions.
