The Tomba di Ilaria del Carretto (Tomb of Ilaria del Carretto) is a renowned funerary monument sculpted by the Italian artist Jacopo della Quercia, one of the preeminent sculptors of the early Italian Renaissance. Created between 1406 and 1408, the tomb is located in the Cathedral of San Martino in Lucca, Italy. It commemorates Ilaria del Carretto, the young wife of Paolo Guinigi, the ruler of Lucca, who died in childbirth in 1405.

Jacopo della Quercia's work on the tomb is celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship and poignant representation of the deceased. The effigy of Ilaria del Carretto is depicted lying peacefully atop the sarcophagus, her serene expression and delicate features capturing a sense of tranquility and grace. She is dressed in elegant, flowing garments that are meticulously carved to convey the texture and movement of the fabric. At her feet lies a small dog, symbolizing fidelity and loyalty, which adds a personal and intimate touch to the monument.

The sarcophagus itself is adorned with intricate reliefs that showcase della Quercia's mastery of sculptural detail and narrative. The sides of the tomb feature a series of putti (cherubs) holding garlands, which are emblematic of eternal life and the heavenly realm. These elements not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the tomb but also imbue it with symbolic meaning, reflecting the Renaissance humanist ideals of beauty, virtue, and the afterlife.

Jacopo della Quercia's Tomba di Ilaria del Carretto is widely regarded as a masterpiece of early Renaissance sculpture. It exemplifies the transition from the Gothic style to the more naturalistic and human-centered approach of the Renaissance. The tomb has been the subject of extensive art historical study and continues to attract admiration for its artistic and emotional depth. It stands as a testament to della Quercia's skill and the enduring legacy of Ilaria del Carretto.
